Chart notes

THIRSTY ALWAYS dueled for command with FOWLER BLUE into and around the turn and into the stretch, put that rival away nearing the sixteenth pole, battled with ASPEN SHADE late and gamely prevailed. ASPEN SHADE chased the top pair three wide through the turn, bid three deep with a furlong to go, headed rival at the sixteenth pole but could not get by. FOWLER BLUE dueled for the lead from inside to the stretch, fought back along the rail to mid-stretch and flattened in the final sixteenth. SIPPIN N KISSIN hesitated at the start to be last away, run up on the heels of I'M WINNING and had to check and alter out at the seven-sixteenths pole, drifted out late on the turn and showed a mild response to whittle the gap late. I'M WINNING broke well and was hustled early, dropped back leaving the backstretch, continued to lose ground around the turn, remained inside then two wide into the stretch and could not rally. SWANNING tracked the pacesetters from off the rail, went three wide into the turn, shied from rival late on the turn and weakened.
