Chart notes

GUN IT just off the inside in pursuit from just off the pace, came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole tipping out to swing four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive rallying to issue a challenge through the final furlong collaring the front inside the final sixteenth, then inched away in the late stages to the finish. SHASHASHAKEMEUP got floated out slightly to be six paths off the inside when SMOOTH B wandered out just after leaving the chute, steadily tucked five, four, then three wide down the backstretch while in close aim of a duel, continued three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun four wide into upper stretch advancing on the leader, seized command with three-sixteenths to go, dug in under a drive under lone threat, got collared inside the sixteenth marker while clear for the place honors. MIHOS coaxed from the start, lost his lane when devoid of speed and chased along the inside growing detached at the tail of the field, took to the two path through the turn coming under light coaxing with seven-sixteenths to run, swung three wide into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to secure the show honors. SMOOTH B bobbled at the start and broke on top despite it, floated out to be five paths off the inside leaving the chute trading the front with GIROLAMO'S ATTACK, steadily tucked four then three wide dueling now with that same rival, tucked to the two path nearing the turn and continued to knock heads through the turn placed to coaxing with five-sixteenths to run, cornered two to three wide into upper stretch, shook off his main pace foe confronted by SHASHASHAKEMEUP and yielded three-sixteenths from home, then weakened in the late stages. T LOVES A FIGHT two to three wide in pursuit down the backstretch, tipped four wide through the turn coming under urging three furlongs out, angled five wide into upper stretch staying on one paced to the eighth pole, then weakened in the late going. GIROLAMO'S ATTACK traded the front briefly early on with SMOOTH B before dueling along the inside with that rival to his outside, came under coaxing at the three-eighths continuing to knock heads, began to get shaken off through the latter portion of the turn and took the inside route into upper stretch, then backed away to the finish.
