Chart notes
SMOOTH OPERATOR rushed from outset to assume first command, led the field from a ground saving stance through each call, and kicked clear under urging in the final furlong for a gate to wire victory. NOMOREMRNICEGUY was unhurried in the early stages of contest, travelled wide through the opening turn, closed the gap on the frontrunners along the backstretch, was close up at upper stretch as the outermost rival, and earned the place with strong late strides. AWESOME THUNDER pressed the pace from between rivals for the opening half, was within striking distance at upper stretch, locked into a duel for the place honors but was bested in that duel and forced to settle with the show. MR BLACK GOLD tucked to the inside before entering the first bend, rated close up and amongst the second flight leaders along the backstretch, but failed to match strides with top trio in the final furlong. GENTLE ROCKET stalked the early pace while travelling three wide into and through the first turn, lost contact with front runners along the backstretch and lacked a closing rally to advance position. SITUATENSHADY trailed the field for the opening half and passed tiring rivals in the final furlong. DEPUTY REAGAN flashed early speed and pressed the pace from a two path stance before steadily retreating in the closing stages. BOOT CAMP BRAD saved ground in the opening turn, angled out nearing the quarter pole and was eased in late going.
