Chart notes

PROVE WORTHY shifted out and bumped a foe in the opening stages causing a chain reaction for outer rivals, tracked along the inside, pursued two wide and between horses around the far turn, tipped four wide putting another foe to crowded quarters entering the lane, bid along with an outer rival in midstretch, and drove clear. MOUNT CRAIG broke half a beat slow which allowed him to avoid early trouble, settled far back two wide, gained four wide around the far turn, got floated five wide entering the lane, sustained a charge along with an inner foe to bid at the furlong grounds, but failed to keep pace with that one shortly after, and proved second best. TSHIEBWE took a bump from an inner rival and brushed an outer foe in the early stages, stalked two to three wide, bid with three furlongs to go, led in upper stretch, but was outkicked by an outer pair at the furlong grounds. GAME KEEPER prompted the pace along the inside, vied with an pair of outer rivals around the far turn, but gave way in upper stretch. ATLANTIC DANCER trailed in the two path, swung to the seven path entering the lane, and moved up. ROUTE RUNNER laid off of the pace along the inside, chased within range around the far turn, and faded. GAME WARDEN took contact from an inner rival early on, tracked three wide, but weakened when put to crowded quarters by an inner rival entering the lane. HERO'S MEDAL was brushed by an inner rival into an outer foe early on, set the pace two wide, vied with rivals on both sides around the far turn, and weakened entering the lane. BRAGGADOCIOUS got brushed into an outer rival early on, laid off of the pace two wide, and was done early.
