Chart notes
DERBY DAY LASSIE broke alertly, showed the way up the backstretch and into the turn by daylight, maintained a comfortable advantage through the lane while kept to task. PUNCHY GIRL void of early foot, continued back through the turn, came four wide into the lane, rallied down the middle of the strip to be up in time for the place. LIGHTNING HART away in good order from the outside, dropped inside midway on the turn, continued to pursue that one into the stretch, could do little with that one in the run to the wire, caught late for the place. CATCH A WHIFF lacked spear foot, improved while in some traffic turn, flattened out a bit in the late going to lose the show spot. DERONDA void of speed, moved outside for the drive, improved position with some belated interest. GOLD STRATEGY in the second flight early while between horses, came up empty the final furlong. VALENTINE ANGEL squeezed at the start, moved up to the second group, faded in the late going. WAR MUSIC broke out, made little impact while racing outside. HAMAZING DEBATE moved inside early, continued to save ground turn, lacked a kick in the drive. MILLIGANMIKEANDME broke back, was always outrun. WISHIN AND HOPIN finished early, trailed home.
