Chart notes

HONEY MUG disputed the pace between horses early, dueled inside of FIRST SQUADRON on the turn, drifted out from upper stretch but nonetheless drew off under a mild drive. SEAWARD chased along the rail, began to improve into the lane, went to a drive in upper stretch, kicked away from the rest of the field nearing the sixteenth pole and proved a clear second best. MARYS LAST SONG was extremely reluctant to load, unseated the rider in the gate before the break, settled near the rear, raced patiently in the three path on the turn, swung out near the center of the track in upper stretch, and rallied with good late interest for show. ERIN'S ENTHUSIASM chased the leading line early, continued to chase three wide between horses around the bend, came into the lane four wide under a drive, chased on while no match for the top two, but was outkicked for show. BAILESTON LASSIE disputed the early pace inside, proved no match for the leading pair into the turn, tracked the leading trio two wide on the turn, chased inside foes into the lane, chased on past midstretch but was outfinished late. FIRST SQUADRON contested the early pace three wide, dueled outside of HONEY MUG around the turn, was carried out in upper stretch when HONEY MUG drifted out, proved no match for her past the quarter pole despite going to a drive, drifted inward approaching midstretch, and flattened between horses. SUNDAY SCHEMING broke near the rear but was urged for better position, improved to midpack, continued under strong urging four wide in the chasing flight on the turn, swung out near the center of the track into the lane, chased on through midstretch but ultimately found no kick. KIMBERLY FRANCES was slow into stride, raced at the rear through the opening furlong, continued near the rear in the three to four path on the turn, was driven inside foes into the lane and lacked the necessary rally. GO STORMIN GIRL was sent to stalk the pace four wide, tracked three wide on the turn, proved no match for the leaders approaching the quarter, floated into upper stretch in the seven to eight path, and proved empty between horses. SATIATE settled near the rear early, was outpaced from near the nine sixteenths, raced in the two path on the turn and offered no bid.
