Chart notes

DRIPPING GOLD got bumped at the start by MORNING THOUGHTS and in turn bumped GOOCH GO BRAGH, tracked the pace along the inside, tipped to the two path inside the three-eighths and advanced in tandem with SLIM SLOW SLIDER, spun just off the inside for home, took over command near the three-sixteenths and edged away under a drive to prevail. GOOCH GO BRAGH bumped at the start by DRIPPING GOLD due to pressure from MORNING THOUGHTS, saved ground near the rear of the field, came under light coaxing at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick to secure the place honors. PIQUA two to three wide in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside for home, offered up a bid a furlong out, then flattened out in the late stages. BOSTON FLAGSHIP broke in at the start bumping with MORNING THOUGHTS, chased three wide through the first turn and then three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch, went four to five wide through the far turn under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, spun three wide for home and improved position in the stretch. MORNING THOUGHTS broke in at the start bumping DRIPPING GOLD into GOOCH GO BRAGH, then got bumped by BOSTON FLAGSHIP, showed the way rated on the pace along the inside, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, cut the corner into upper stretch, yielded near the three-sixteenths and tired. SLIM SLOW SLIDER four then three wide through the first turn, chased three to four wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, swung two to three wide for home and tired. SPEAK UNITY three wide into the first turn, settled rated in the two path in closest aim of the leader, came under light coaxing at the three-eighths and retreated quickly near the five-sixteenths briefly three wide, swung four wide for home and faltered. STEAL THE CASH three then two wide through the first turn, chased two to three wide, faded nearing the far turn coaxed along, swung four wide for home and gave way. Please note the mile split was omitted due to a teletimer operator error.
