Chart notes

ROYAL THUNDER showed good early speed from the inside early on, raced near the inside around the far turn through the stretch and held gamely to be clear under steady handling. JOSEF IS REAL was allowed to settle off the early going, moved up five wide near the three sixteenths pole and was clearly second best. SUBJECT TO CHANGE stalked the top pair down the backstretch, raced along the inside around the far turn and had not enough in the drive. PEPE AND HEYWOOD was sent along to vie for the early lead with Royal Thunder, raced three wide in the stretch run and weakened the final eighth of a mile. LIFESPAN was unhurried in the early stages, raced three to four wide and had no late response. SHADOW BOAT dropped back early on, raced five wide nearing the eighth pole and failed to respond.
