Chart notes

WHAT A COUNTRY stalked four wide around the first turn, tucked to the two path while behind the leading trio down the backstretch, tipped back out to rally four wide at the five sixteenths pole, but between horses at the quarter pole, and kicked away in upper stretch. PROTONIC POWER balked when originally attempted to load and jogged away from the gate for a sixteenth of a mile before being reloaded without further incident, lagged behind the field around the first turn, gained five wide around the far turn to bid along with an inner WHAT A COUNTRY at the quarter pole, but swiftly failed to keep pace with that one in upper stretch, and proved second best. EL FRANCO tracked five wide around the first turn, tucked four wide down the backstretch, bid for the lead outside of the top pair leaving the three furlong pole, quickly gained command soon after, but met a pair of outer challenges at the quarter pole, yielded to them entering the lane, and weakened on his left lead. TWO COOKIE RULE dueled for the lead tow wide and between horses, but yielded leaving the quarter pole. ZOFFA vied three wide, but faded between horses at the three furlong pole. ELI was hard sent after a flat-footed beginning to duel inside of a pair of rivals into the first turn, but gave way to outer bidders at the five sixteenths pole, caved entering the lane, and was eased thereafter.
