Chart notes

EARNED IT rated between rivals while in range past the three quarter pole, gave up some ground past the five eighths, was put to a ride inside horses leaving the three eighths, eased out and worked his way between runners into the stretch, inherited a clean path as the embattled leaders wandered well off the inside leaving mid stretch, took command under a drive past the sixteenth marker and kicked clear. BOZZINI lost ground four wide around the first turn, continued well wide while pulling his way forward past the five eighths, dropped in a bit and shadowed the leader from his outside leaving the far turn, dueled from the five sixteenths, was brushed out carried out by HE'S NOT CURLY in mid stretch and battled gamely to the line to earn the place. HE'S NOT CURLY took over between foes nearing the first turn, cleared off and set the pace in about the two path, was joined by BOZZINI leaving the far turn, sparred with that one past the three sixteenths, ducked out twice under left handed asking, corrected and gave way grudgingly. MONKEY'S MEDAL lagged off the rail, came six wide for the drive and found his best too late. MARYLANDER broke a step slow, raced removed from the rail, came five into the lane, shifted some and continued with interest. UHWARRIE SKY stalked three wide, came under a solid ride past the three eighths, pursued four wide outside runners into the stretch, stayed in touch to about mid stretch then faded. IRISHTOWN tracked inside, was under a drive chasing past the five sixteenths, cut the corner into the lane and weakened.
