Chart notes

MATTY'S EXPRESS went three wide on the opening bend, was rated on the outside, pulled his way forward to force the pace inside the three-quarter pole, took the lead with seven-sixteenths to run, dropped from the two path to the rail on the far turn, was asked at the five-sixteenths, responded well when put to a right-handed crop outside the furlong marker and held under strong urging. CATCH THAT PARTY bumped soundly with a foe at the start, was taken in hand early, rounded the first turn in the two path, tugged hard at the bit under stout restraint inside the three-quarter pole then leveled out when removed from cover shortly thereafter, came under urging leaving the backstretch, chased three then two wide on the far turn, pursued the winner under a drive into the final sixteenth, gained on that foe late and just missed while able to get the place. AUSTRIAN brushed with a rival at the start, went four wide on the first turn, settled on the outside, was roused five then four wide on the turn, chased the winner under a drive in the stretch and finished willingly for the show. GRAPE NUTS WARRIOR traveled three wide on the initial turn, settled near the middle of the field, was coaxed along passing the half-mile pole, chased four then three wide on the far turn, pursued the winner in the drive and lacked the needed kick. THE GOLDEN DOOR raced inside to the two path on the first turn, settled towards the rear, dropped from three to two wide on the far turn while roused, moved out in upper stretch and improved position. PERPETRATE brushed with a foe at the start, dropped back between horses early, went four wide on the first turn, settled outside near the back, was urged four wide on the far turn then driven five wide into the stretch and gained late but failed to impact. COTTON saved ground on the first turn, was rated off the pace, came under urging in the two path on the far turn and lacked the needed response. SIMPLY dropped to the rear, saved ground on the first turn, lagged at the rear, went two then three wide on the far turn and was no factor. GREAT WORKOUT saved ground on the first turn, settled off the pace, was asked three wide on the far turn, spun four wide into the stretch under the crop and failed to rally. THE LAST ACE bumped soundly with an opponent at the start, went to the front, dropped to the rail on the first turn, showed the way while getting company to the outside on the backstretch, lost the lead passing the seven-sixteenths pole and faded.
