Chart notes

SISTER RULER broke readily to gain a forward placing between foes, was eased off the second flight tracking the leaders under patient handling on the backstretch, shifted out four wide leaving the midway point of the turn advancing on the leaders, wrested the advantage in that path in the closing stages and went clear under firm right handed encouragement. MY SARASOTA STAR was hustled clear of the field while angling to the inside, set the pace on a clear margin to the stretch, couldn't contain the winner's bid, but continued grudgingly to hold a rival for the place honors, then was vanned off the course following the race. WE MISS SUSIE settled in the last flight inside foes, tipped out racing into the stretch finding her best stride in the closing stages between foes, then angled inside the top pair nearing the wire while just missing for second. DARK HONEY switched off the inside while being prompted in pursuit of the pacesetter between foes through the backstretch, angled inside racing into upper stretch and emptied out leaving the furlong marker. BAHAMIAN MOON, urged to a forward placing three wide tracking the pacesetter in second flight, was urged to lodge a brief bid in that path nearing upper stretch but came up empty in the drive. JOLINA tracked off the second flight along the inside racing through the backstretch, saved ground to upper stretch, then finished in hand through closing stages avoiding some traffic through the last sixteenth. MIZZEN ducked out at the start, was settled outside foes on the backstretch and failed to menace thereafter.
