Chart notes

HIMIKO stalked along the inside, then from the two path around the turn while comfortably tracking the dueling pair, shifted outside of those rivals entering the lane, chased with multiple lengths to find in midstretch, but churned along under a long drive, and wore those foes down on the wire. RISING SEAS set the pace inside of a pressing AVIE'S SAMURAI, dueled passing the three furlong pole after that foe made a bid, dug in gamely while resisting that foe, turned her away approaching the wire, but was nailed by an outer rallying rival. AVIE'S SAMURAI prompted the pace two wide, inched forward into the far turn to spark a duel with three furlongs remaining, gamely sustained the battle into the late stages, but was repelled by her inner counterpart by getting outfinished by an outer foe approaching the wire. GOODBYE EARL trailed in the four path around the turn, came into the lane five wide, and stayed on without menacing. ON THE TOWN took the turn in the three path while off of the pace, and failed to factor.
