Chart notes

HATTIES JEWEL angled to the rail in early stages tracking the leaders inside foes in second flight racing to the far turn, came around a stricken rival to challenge for command inside a rival racing into upper stretch and went clear through the lane under firm handling. TOP OF THE GAME was settled last along the inside racing to the backstretch, saved ground on the far turn gathering momentum, tipped out racing three wide through the stretch and prevailed for the place honors. SIDE STREET DAVE, urged to a forward placing just outside the pacesetter racing to the backstretch, advanced to press the issue on the far turn, inherited the lead nearing upper stretch but yielded to the top pair in the drive. SPIRIT MISSION tracked off the first flight outside a rival, then between foes racing to the far turn, was fanned four wide racing into upper stretch but had no closing response. CHICORY BLUE angled to the inside racing to the first turn tracking off the second flight, switched out three wide midway through the backstretch to race on terms with the second flight to the far turn but gave way nearing the lane. JUST ASK JOEL settled into stride while shifting off the inside racing to the first turn and failed to menace thereafter. IKE was hustled to the lead while angling to the inside, set the pace to the second bend, dueled for command entering the far turn, was pulled up abruptly after taking an awkward step nearing the quarter mile, then was vanned off the course following the race. FOLLOWING THE RACE THE STEWARDS CONDUCTED AN INQUIRY INTO THE INCIDENT ON THE FAR TURN BUT TOOK NO ACTION.
