Chart notes

GAMING JACK saved ground through the opening turn and bid steadily from the half mile pole, took the lead in the three path approaching the top of the stretch, drew clear inside the eighth pole and was steadily handled to hold well. MEO DESPERADO rated close inside the first turn, raced hemmed in at the rail from the five sixteenths pole and lacked room through the far turn, angled three wide into the stretch, dug in for second mid-stretch and finished well while unable to gain on the winner. TRUE CROSSING rated a short lead inside, came under pressure nearing the three eighths pole and contested the advantage nearest the rail on the far turn, but was caught toward the head of the lane, dropped back past the eighth pole then flattened stride the final sixteenth. EXECUTIVE RETREAT raced in the three path the opening turn and settled off the pace, picked up the chase into the backstretch, ran in the four path of the far turn then flattened stride inside the eighth pole. SING A VERSE raced well back two deep the opening turn, bid nearing the three eighths pole and ran in the three path of the far turn and finished evenly to pass rivals. SCYTHE contested the front stretch then stalked three wide the opening turn, gave chase from the three eighths pole and raced close through the far turn before weakening. GATOR FIFTY TWO rounded the opening turn about the three path and settled off the pace into the backstretch, gave chase nearing the seven sixteenths pole, but flattened stride in the four path of the far turn. FLAMING HOT raced well off the pace and showed little response through the backstretch. BOLD VALOR dueled between horses through the front stretch and settled close into the backstretch, gave chase nearing the three eighths pole, though, faded on the far turn. JUSTICE OF WAR saved ground racing well back the first turn and raced wide on the far turn.
