Chart notes

ATOMIC DROP took the lead early and moved inside, controlled the pace up the backstretch, continued to save ground on the front-end through the far turn, put to right-handed urging in the final furlong and held safely. CLUB CAL broke a step slow from the outside, sat off the pace in the two path, waited two wide and between rivals on the far turn, angled out into the stretch, put a late run and closed the gap on the winner. TALKLESSWORKMORE stumbled leaving the gate, was forwardly placed in the two path, closest in pursuit near the inside into the stretch, moved out a bit in the lane, lacked the needed late punch in deep stretch and lost the place. WORSE READ SANCHEZ was antsy in the gate, broke a bit slow then settled inside off the pace, saved ground to the stretch, kept on through the lane and rounded out the superfecta. SUNSHINE BABE stumbled at the start, raced on the inside near the back, trailed into the stretch, tried to rally but found traffic in the lane, angled out to a clear path and improved placings. SHORTMAN was off slow to begin, steered to the rail at the back then ran two wide around the first turn, traveled three wide into the far turn, angled five wide with a quarter mile remaining and could not threaten. MAMBA COOL had to steady behind a rival early, stalked in the two path, raced between rivals on the far turn, three wide into the stretch and flattened. ORTH broke a step slow, stalked from inside then started to pull on the first turn and early on the backstretch, came two wide into the drive and weakened. JUST ABOUT ENOUGH stalked three deep early on, started to weaken three wide on the far turn and faded in the drive. MISCHIEVOUS PATH tracked three wide early, chased four deep at the quarter pole, got crowded between rivals in upper stretch and weakened.
