Chart notes

VICTORY WAY was rated just off the pace, came under urging while wanting to move up approaching the five-eighths but had the hole closed by a rival, continued just off the pace, drafted in the two path early on the turn, shifted four wide while asked later on that bend, rallied to the lead into upper stretch, shook clear into the final furlong and prevailed under steady urging. TREATY OBLIGATION bumped soundly with a rival at the start, pressed the pace on the outside, moved in while asked to pick it up outside the five-eighths while trying to keep VICTORY WAY behind horses, turned up the pressure in the two path on the turn, passed the five-sixteenths on even terms for the lead, battled between foes under a drive in upper stretch, switched out after dropping behind the winner at the furlong marker and was outfinished while able to get the place. LIGHT THE WAY bumped with rivals on both sides at the start, was coaxed to the front, showed the way under pressure to his outside, vied in the two path on the turn, was asked outside the five-sixteenths, turned into upper stretch under a drive, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened but was well clear for the show. GOOD RAPPORT broke out and bumped with an opponent, settled off the pace, was clipped behind by WHENLOVETAKESOVER approaching the five-eighths, moved out behind horses near the nine-sixteenths, was roused four then five wide on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, remained on his inside lead until outside the furlong marker then swapped to the proper lead while dropping back and weakened. WHENLOVETAKESOVER settled off the pace, tossed his head outside the five-eighths then clipped heels with GOOD RAPPORT and stumbled, dropped back late on the backstretch, traveled three wide around the turn and was no factor. BILLY'S GOT ISSUES climbed greenly into the kickback early then dropped back, was urged along at the rear, saved ground on the turn and failed to threaten. GOTTA CONNECT broke in and bumped soundly with a foe, tracked the pace on the outside, chased four then five wide around the turn, dropped back late on that bend and capitulated.
