Chart notes

KREESA LA WROTE settled off the pace, moved from two to three wide early on the turn, shifted four wide outside the quarter-pole, rallied outside into the final furlong, switched back to her inside lead outside the sixteenth-pole and closed well to get up late. U SHOULD B DANCING was bumped in the hindquarters at the start, set the pace under pressure to her outside, vied in the two path early on the turn then dropped to the rail, was put to a right-handed crop after turning into the stretch, drifted out near the furlong marker, led determinedly into the final sixteenth, drifted out again late then came out more abruptly, had the rider stand up in the saddle and take a look behind him to make sure he had safe clearance in front of a beaten CAUMSETT then was denied on the wire. CAUMSETT was well placed just off the pace on the inside, moved to the two path under urging late on the turn, gained to make a bid inside the three-sixteenths then was carried out more, battled with the winner into the final sixteenth, had her path taken while being outfinished late and secured the show. NO PAYNE broke a step slow, settled on the outside, was roused four then five wide on the turn and lacked the needed response. ISLE STORM moved in while chasing the pace on the outside, went two to three wide on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and tired. MISS FLINTSHIRE broke a bit slow then stumbled after the start, dropped well back, moved from the two path to the rail on the turn and was no factor. FAVORITE IMPULSE had her head turned and was unprepared for the start then off slow, spotted the front several lengths, saved ground on the turn, turned into the stretch in the two path and failed to threaten. CATCHULADY broke a bit slow then bumped with a rival and was taken up, went three then four wide on the turn and failed to respond. BARREL OF BLISS pressed the pace on the outside of the runner-up, vied in the four path for most of the turn, bolted to near the outside fence approaching the quarter-pole and dropped out. FOLLOWING THE RACE, THE RIDER OF CAUMSETT CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST U SHOULD B DANCING ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN DEEP STRETCH. THERE WAS ALSO A STEWARDS' INQUIRY. AFTER THE STEWARDS' REVIEW, NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE ORDER OF FINISH
