Chart notes

HONORARY DEGREE was brushed by an outer rival after breaking half a beat slowly, tracked the leaders from the four path around the turn, came into the lane in the five path while taking aim, produced a good kick while lightly shaken up in upper stretch, assumed command approaching the furlong grounds, and was ridden out under light urging. ZELIG set the pace inside of a pressing pair of foes around the turn, shook free of them in the two path entering the lane, but offered little resistance to HONORARY DEGREE's challenge in upper stretch, quickly failed to keep pace approaching the furlong grounds, and lasted from an outer rival for place in the late stages. HIGHER AUTHORITY took a bump from an outer foe at the start, trailed in the two path entering the turn, swung to the six path turning for home, rallied while pursuing ZELIG for place through the final furlong, but just failed to reel in that rival at the wire. DREWZANO broke inwardly and bumped a foe at the start, stalked along the inside, but only managed a rail chase through upper stretch before fading. ROCK ON KITTEN pressed the pace two wide and from between horses, but yielded in the three path entering the lane. DRENA'S STAR prompted the pace three wide, but weakened between horses in the four path entering the lane before the rider lost his crop at the furlong grounds.
