Chart notes

BIG STICK tracked the early pace, was well placed into the turn, roused nearing the quarter marker, made a two wide bid into the stretch run, closed the gap on RACER REX inside of the furlong pole and kept to task in deep stretch to prove best. RACER REX stalked the decent early pace, pressured ONE BIG SMILE nearing the quarter marker and took command in upper stretch, was set down for the drive, could not hold off BIG STICK inside of the furlong marker and held safely in the end for second. COLONEL VARGO hard to load, was away in good order and showed early speed, stalked the pace to the turn, lost position two wide nearing the quarter marker, swung four wide into the stretch run, re-rallied in deep stretch and was up for third in the final stages. ONE BIG SMILE sent to establish the early lead, set decent fractions to the turn, came under pressure nearing the quarter marker, drifted out at the top of the lane and raced in the four path into the drive, chased to mid-stretch and was outfinished for show. LATE NITE OUT shuffled back at the start and was off slowly, trailed into the turn, saved ground to the top of the lane and lacked a late rally. WEE BEASTIE chased the decent early pace, lost position three wide on the turn, swung five wide for the drive and gave way in the stretch.
