Chart notes

WHOA BUDDY hustled from the rail, stalked the leading pair to the head of the stretch, swung out for room approaching the furlong grounds and responded to strong right handed urging to get up in time. GENTLEMAN'S SECRET broke a bit behind the leading pack but steadily made up ground down the backstretch and through the turn until he was heads up with DARKSABER passing the quarter pole, took the lead in the final sixteenth but could not hold off the winner. DARKSABER broke quickest from the gate and went straight to the lead, was challenged turning for home by GENTLEMAN'S SECRET, battled to deep stretch and gave way late. KNOCKOUT BERT made light contact with GENTLEMAN'S SECRET after the break, then bobbled a couple of strides after than, recovered and raced wide down the backstretch and into the turn while advancing towards the leaders, was set down passing the three-furlong pole, entered the stretch still wide and was in contention to deep stretch but could not make up the needed ground. BERNIE'S BIG BOY tracked the early pace, lost ground two wide on the turn, was asked to keep pace in upper stretch but could not offer the needed response. HULA KING broke well and was in the early mix down the backstretch, was in tight between rivals at the seven-sixteenths then steadied passing the three furlong pole, lost momentum nearing the top of the lane, swung four wide for the drive and offered a mild late rally. EMERALD MAGIC fell behind early, moved over to the rail to save ground approaching the turn, was impeded a bit when HULA KING steadied leaving the three-furlong marker, angled back to the rail for the stretch run and was not a factor.
