Chart notes

HEART THAT BINDS in the second flight for five furlongs off the inside, ranged up to a challenging position three wide late in the final turn, long drive to the wire, fully extended to prove narrowly best. DEBS PRAYER broke on top, dueled up front in the two path, disposed of the other speed as she was being challenged by the winner turning for home, continued to hold a narrow advantage past the furlong marker, proved stubborn to the end while between horses at the wire. FASHION MERIT settled behind the two leaders inside the winner, moved closer with that one late in the final turn, encountered some traffic entering the straight, dropped to the inside and challenged inside the top two along the rail with a furlong remaining, not enough for that pair at the end. LUCKY HARBORAGE pinched back at the start to trail past the wire the first time, continued to lack speed, came four wide out of the final bend, mild rally while widest through the straight, missed the show. KAPPA HILL settled off the pace while racing toward the inside, in some traffic when the field bunched up turning for home, came up empty for the drive when clear to finish up evenly. STREAMER lacked speed, continued back and off the inside into the far turn, three wide and between horses into the lane, failed to muster the necessary closing response. CARONDELET away in good order, dueled up front inside the runner up, gave way when the real running began entering the stretch.
