Chart notes

BOOTSIE'S GALAXY was sent to the lead early, set the pace with another foe for the first three eighths of the race, took command as he pleased in the turn and drew off. OPTIMAL COURAGE was sent for the lead maintained the pace, battled briefly with the eventual winner and faded in the lane. TWO DOT settled behind the leaders along the rail ,was joined by company on the outside was patient through the middle of the turn, started to angle out leaving the turn, was clear at the quarter pole was cued to close and responded well but didn't have enough time but was able to get up for third. HERD IMMUNITY was well off the pace early, saved ground the entire trip and passed tiring rivals. D TWO was off the pace from the outside, matched strides with another rival after the half mile marker and into the turn from the four path, was drifted out a bit in the turn was five wide in the lane and didn't fire. GALAXY BUILDER was in the second tier along the backside, was widest in the turn and stopped in the lane.
