Chart notes

ESSENTIAL QUALITY four wide into the first turn, raced three wide through that opening bend before briefly settling five paths off the inside into the backstretch, tucked four wide six furlongs from home and continued four wide into the far turn coming under urging near the three-eighths, got ridden along through the latter portion of the turn and went five to six wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command at the three-sixteenths, dug in under challenge to the inside and gamely fended off the challenge to prevail at the end. KEEPMEINMIND three then two wide through the first turn, raced a bit unsettled and pulling early on while near the rear of the field, went three then two wide down the backstretch before chasing just off the inside through the far turn getting placed to coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled in, the rider making a smooth adjustment of his left iron just inside the quarter pole before taking the inside route into upper stretch, rallied to dig in latched on inside of the aforementioned foe from the three-sixteenths to the finish fighting on gamely, but was ultimately denied. MASQUEPARADE just off the inside through the first turn in closest aim of the leader, remained on hold tracking that rival until nearing the three-eighths, advanced to take command at that station now engaged by WEYBURN to the outside, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and spun three wide for home set down for the drive, got collared at the three-sixteenths and dug in between foes briefly to the eighth pole, then kept on clear for the show honors. WEYBURN three wide through the first turn, chased four then three wide from just off the pace, advanced in tandem with the aforementioned foe to overthrow the leader at the three-eighths, got let out spinning four wide for home, weakened in the stretch. DR JACK coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside uncontested until put to pressure nearing the three-eighths pole, got overtaken at that station and was lightly coaxed through the latter portion of the turn being taken in hand and eased off while backing away to allow KEEPMEINMIND to take over the inside route at the head of the stretch while tipping to the two path at that juncture for himself, then was not persevered with through to the finish while allowed to cross the line under his own power.
