Chart notes

BIG ENGINE five paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive issuing a challenge through the final furlong and was up in the final jumps to prevail. MAJORITY PARTNER bumped at the start by UNIQUE UNIONS, who broke inwards, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung five wide into upper stretch, rallied into contention a furlong out and had WHO HOO THATS ME tip out from along the inside, traded leans and minor bumps with that foe to the sixteenth marker, seized command briefly seventy yards from home, then got nailed in the final strides to the finish. WHO HOO THATS ME coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, took the inside route into upper stretch, tipped to the two path at the three-sixteenths and then the three path a furlong out from in behind the top pair and bumped and traded leans with MAJORITY PARTNER from that station through to the sixteenth pole, then ran on to secure the show honors in the late going. UNIQUE UNIONS broke in at the start bumping MAJORITY PARTNER, chased three wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command a furlong out, dug in under threat from a trio and was collared seventy yards from home, then weakened in the late stages. EXCELLENT TIMING broke in hustled from the start and bumped FOOLISH GHOST, showed the way in hand just off the inside coming under coaxing near the five-sixteenths, continued just off the inside into upper stretch, got collared a furlong out and weakened in the final eighth. QUICK RETURN coaxed from the start, chased three then two wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung four wide for home and offered no response. FOOLISH GHOST bumped at the start by EXCELLENT TIMING, chased two to three wide under coaxing near the quarter pole, continued two to three wide into upper stretch and tired. JADE'S DREAM chased just off the inside under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, went three wide into upper stretch, trailed throughout.
