Chart notes
NICK THE CARDSHARK, in touch with the leaders nearest the inside attending the pace on the backstretch, continued under patient handling conceding some position racing into the turn, tipped out racing into upper stretch to split foes three deep challenging for command, wrested the advantage late and edged forward under firm right handed encouragement. UNION GAP threw his head at the start getting away slowly, was settled outside foes racing to the turn, steadily gathered momentum while being fanned six wide racing through the stretch but produced his best stride in the closing stages to gain terms with the winner while edging a rival for the place honors. OLD TIMER'S DAY, urged between foes prompting the pace through the backstretch, was eased back avoiding tight quarters racing into the bend, switched out on the turn while being urged to bid between foes nearing upper stretch, struck the front racing into the lane but couldn't fend off the top pair late. HIGHLAND PARK HERO bobbled at the start, was righted to track off the first flight along the inside, shifted out four wide racing through the turn to lodge a bid but flattened out in the drive. WILD WINTER, off slowly, was settled inside foes racing to the turn, angled out four wide in upper stretch and continued with interest to gain some position between foes while racing in close quarters. FIREHORN broke readily, was held up off the leaders while switching well off the inside racing through the backstretch, was prompted to make some brief progress five wide nearing upper stretch but lacked the needed final bid. PAPA LUKE joined the pace four wide in the opening stages, shifted inwards nearing the turn dictating the pace on a narrow advantage, dueled between foes into upper stretch and gave way. MIGHTY GHOST settled into stride shifting off the inside racing through the backstretch but failed to menace thereafter. RED HOT LOOKS, urged three wide between foes prompting the pace in the opening stages, angled to the rail disputing the issue inside a rival racing into the turn and gave way after a half.
