Chart notes
IMPERIAL KING led the way on the inside up the backstretch, dueled while saving ground around the turn, kicked clear in the stretch and held that margin to the wire. WHISTLEWHILEYOUMOW bumped lightly with the horse to his inside leaving the gate, stalked the pace setter up the backstretch, began a bid from the two path coming around the turn and chased the winner home, just holding second. ASTRONAUT OSCAR raced in the middle of the pack on the outside early, began a bid from the three path racing around the bend and gained ground late. NEWYEARSBLOCKPARTY chased the leader on the inside through the opening quarter of a mile, saved ground around the bend and finished evenly. LORD BERRIER raced off the pace on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the turn from the four path and improved position mildly in the lane while never threatening. CAJUN CASANOVA raced in the middle of the pack on the inside through the opening stages, switched out to the five path for the run around the turn and was outkicked in the lane. SMOKY BLUES bumped with the horse to his outside at the start, settled at the back of the pack for the opening quarter, came around the turn in the three path and showed no kick. IN THE LOOP tracked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, dueled from the two path around the bend and tired in the stretch. MAGICAL JAIME raced at the back of the pack on the inside early, saved ground around the turn and made no bid. NIXON JOY (ARG) trailed the field throughout, saved ground around the bend and was never a factor.
