Chart notes

SPEAKING SCOUT tracked the leading pair inside of ENCOURAGE down the stretch for the first time and through the clubhouse turn, tracked down the backstretch and while in the two path around the far turn, rallied sharply inside of CAMP DAVID into the lane and soon opened up a clear advantage, and drew off as much the best under a mild drive. TONKA WARRIOR prompted the pace outside of CAMP DAVID, vied between horses around the far turn, came three wide into the lane, proved no match for SPEAKING SCOUT in upper stretch but stayed on with continued interest and found enough between horses to hold safe for the place. XAVEY DAVE chased the leading pair between horses early, settled back to chase midpack through the clubhouse turn and into the backstretch, chased in the two to three path around the far turn, dropped to the inside in upper stretch, rallied inside of CAMP DAVID, and kept on inside for the show. BENS MALICE raced three wide in the rear flight early, chased three wide into the back straight, rallied four wide into the far turn as the field contracted and ran at the outside of the leading flight, swung five wide into upper stretch, could not go with SPEAKING SCOUT, chased on willingly but narrowly missed the show. CAMP DAVID led inside while prompted by TONKA WARRIOR, vied at the inside of the leading flight around the far turn, came off the inside into the lane and had no answer as SPEAKING SCOUT kicked past, and flattened out between horses in the final furlong. AMERICAN MAYHEM dropped to the inside early, was a bit keen while chasing, gradually settled back near the rear inside of WICKED GENIUS into the back straight, was urged in the three to four path in the rear pair around the far turn and finished mildly past tiring horses in the lane. PROTONIC POWER settled at the rear, continued in the four to five path in the rear pair around the far turn, and passed tiring horses in the stretch. WICKED GENIUS raced between horses near the rear early, continued two wide near the rear down the back straight, came three wide into the far turn as the field contracted, chased three wide around that bend but flattened out in the lane. ENCOURAGE tracked the leading pair outside of SPEAKING SCOUT and XAVEY DAVE, rallied three wide between horses into the far turn, vied three wide around that bend, but emptied out four wide into the lane and weakened.
