Chart notes

YAK, brushed, then caught in close quarters at the start, was rated between foes just off the leaders to the backstretch, tipped out three wide after three furlongs tracking the leaders to the second bend, advanced in that path to bid between foes racing into upper stretch and responded to firm left handed encouragement to go clear in time. UNBROKEN SONG switched off the inside racing to the first turn tracking the leaders from just out of striking position, was prompted to advance four wide racing into the far turn, advanced in tandem with the eventual winner into upper stretch but couldn't match that rival's kick while narrowly prevailing for the place honors. MIDNIGHT BLUE NOTE was urged along the inside racing to the backstretch dictating the pace on a narrow advantage, dueled for command on the far turn into the stretch and weakened late. TALLESTOFTHETALL broke inwards brushing the eventual winner, was prompted to terms with the pacesetter three deep racing to the first turn, continued to prompt just outside the leader into the backstretch, pressed the pace into the far turn, dueled for command between foes into upper stretch but faded late. NOT VERY GENTLE settled between foes in the last flight to the backstretch, shifted out five wide racing into upper stretch but had no closing bid. HONEST TO GOODNESS settled outside foes in the last flight to the backstretch, was fanned six wide into the lane but proved no threat. FINAL CALL broke outwards brushing the eventual winner, was collected, then settled inside foes racing to the backstretch and faded early.
