Chart notes

BE YOUR BEST (IRE) was restless in the gate, had the rider begin to look to move out from the outset, was guided to the outside on the initial straightaway, went four then three wide around the first turn, settled on the outside, was roused three then four wide on the far turn, rallied five wide into the stretch then closed fast to get the lead, kicked clear outside the furlong marker and proved much the best under steady urging. CALLIE'S GRIT tucked into the two path on the first turn, settled on the outside, was given her cue in the two path on the far turn, spun three wide into the stretch, pursued the winner under a drive into the final furlong and proved no match while just able to hold the place. FREE LOOK came out a bit at the start and broke near the back, was taken up slightly and briefly by the rider early, angled in outside the seven-eighths, saved ground under restraint on the first turn, pulled under reserve at the back, shifted to the two path leaving the backstretch, was roused outside the quarter-pole, swung six wide into the stretch and finished with late energy to just miss the place while up for the show. FREYDIS THE RED (FR) bumped with a rival early, tucked in near the seven-eighths, rounded the first turn in the three path under restraint, was carried out entering the backstretch, settled towards the rear on the outside, was asked three wide on the far turn, came five wide into the stretch and improved position. CANDLE went to the front, showed the way on the inside, lost the advantage to the winner in upper stretch and gave way. FOURWAY STOP moved in down the initial straightaway, prompted the pace on the outside in the two path, was given her cue on the final turn, turned into the stretch under the crop, dropped back between horses into the final furlong and weakened. TURF ACCOUNTANT saved ground on the first turn, settled off the pace, was roused in the two path on the far turn, came four wide into the stretch, drifted in while still on her inside lead outside the furlong marker and failed to rally. TICKER TAPE HOME was bumped hard near the seven-eighths, went three wide on the first turn, settled just off the pace on the outside, chased three wide on the far turn, spun four wide into the stretch and came up empty. MILIEU broke a bit slow, was taken up multiple times while tugging rankly at the bit in the two path around the first turn, checked while continuing to be rank early on the backstretch, went two then three wide while asked on the far turn, was driven five wide into the stretch then drifted in and failed to threaten. GRACEFUL was hustled from the start then became keen when taken under a hold early, bumped hard with TICKER TAPE HOME while very rank nearing the first turn, saved ground while hard held on the inside, dropped back while taking an awkward stride at the three-eighths and faltered.
