Chart notes
THUNDER AHEAD set a clear pace in the two path, dug in to resist an inner foe's bid in upper stretch, and lasted from a pair of outer bidders late. HELLUVA LIFE broke slowly, took the first turn in the three path while off of the pace, advanced inside of foes around the far turn before shifting five wide entering the lane, and rallied on his left lead through the final furlong, but missed on the wire. FIFTYFIVE STRONG tracked three wide, stalked between horses around the far turn, chased through upper stretch, kept on late to attempt a bid as an outer foe ranged up, but missed. BOLD MINISTER broke a step slowly at the start, stalked along the inside, attempted a bid inside of the leader passing the quarter pole, but flattened out late. COUNTRIFIED broke slowly, saved ground far off of the pace, shifted four wide into the backstretch, advanced outside of foes thereafter, chased while in range of the leader around the far turn, but flattened out between horses in the final furlong. KILLER BEE tracked from midpack in the four path, swung three to six wide entering the lane, and failed to factor. AMBASSADOR HOUSE stalked two wide, but weakened between horses into the far turn. ONE HITTER laid in midpack in the two path around the first turn, but was done early. O'CONNOR refused to leave the gates when they opened, came out many seconds late, and galloped around the track, and walked off. A STEWARDS' INQUIRY DEEMED O'CONNOR AS A STARTER.
