Chart notes

PIONEER SPIRIT hustled from the gate, showed the way in hand two to three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and edged clear under a drive to prevail. DARK STORM along the inside through the first turn, chased three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path near the half mile pole, came under coaxing and tucked inside at the three-eighths marker, swung three wide for home and ran on to secure the place honors. BOURBON BAY coaxed from the start, chased four wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung four to five wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then ran on to secure the show honors. HAMMERIN AAMER chased two to three wide until tucked inside half a mile from home, came under coaxing midway on the turn, continued along the inside into upper stretch and improved position by tired foes. KUMAR chased five then four wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. CARIBBEAN (AUS) hustled from the gate, chased four then three wide under coaxing from three furlongs out, cornered three wide into upper stretch and tired. CRYPTO CASH bobbled at the break under coaxing, had the leader remain out in the two path and advanced along the rail through the first turn to be noses apart for command with seven furlongs to run, got taken in hand and was backed off with five furlongs to go easing off to near the rear of the field, got guided outside nearing the far turn appearing as though something was amiss and was eased up appearing ready to be pulled up in the turn losing action, then continued under a light gallop through to the eighth pole displaying that poor action when met by the outrider and was subsequently escorted the rest of the way home and then walked off under his own power.
