Chart notes

EMBRACE MY UNCLE was allowed to settle out of the gate and raced three wide around the first turn, rated off the pace up the backstretch, circled up four wide late on the far turn, stayed on gamely into the lane, reached the leader in the final sixteenth and edged away under a driving finish. STRIKE THE TOP was well placed racing three wide just off the early pace, loomed up three wide late on the far turn, vied for the lead into the stretch, stayed on gamely, got by embattled duo but failed to hold off the winner. POPPY'S BOYS settled out of the gate and tucked inside on the first turn, remained unhurried up the backstretch, roused three wide around the final turn, sustained a three wide bid into the lane, steadily edged up closer and captured show. GEMONTEER steadied on the rail entering the first turn, stalked the pacesetter up the backstretch, roused forward to challenge PH FACTOR for the lead around the far turn, battled on into the final furlong, weakened late and lost show. P H FACTOR took over the lead entering the first turn, set the pace by a comfortable margin up the backstretch, dueled inside of POPPY'S BOYS around the far turn, battled on into the final furlong then came up empty and gave way. CAUSALISTIC saved ground while tracking the pace through early stages, hustled up on the inside around the far turn, came two wide into the lane and failed to kick on. POCO CHARLIE got bumped a bit right after the start and raced in the back outside through early stages, swung five wide into the upper stretch and lacked a needed rally. AEQUOR raced in range and tracked the pace up the backstretch, failed to progress under pressure around the far turn and steadily retreated.
