Chart notes

ALWAY'S A KNIGHT away well and tracked the leader through the stretch the first time while saving ground at the rail, commenced his bid from along the inside entering the final turn, tipped three wide entering the lane, and closed determinedly to get up in time. PITCH COUNT away alertly and raced to the lead from along rail entering the first turn, controlled the pace through the stretch the first time and in the run down the backside, maintained his advantage through the final turn, and just failed to last. BETATHANABOYFRIEND settled off the early pace while saving ground at the rail through the stretch the first time, continued to save ground through the final turn, and finished from along the rail in the drive while unable to mount a serious late bid. CHEF settled at the back of the field while racing one out from the rail through the stretch the first time, bided his time at the back of the pack in the run down the backside, rallied two wide through the final turn, and finished three wide in the drive. ACE DEUCE broke sharply and tracked the leader through the stretch the first time while racing one out from the rail, maintained his position in the run down the backstretch, rallied two wide into the final turn, but faded in the late stages.
