Chart notes

GOLD MERRITT was sent to the lead early, happily set the fractions and maintained the pace while being pressured by an outside foe, showed the way into he furlong ground where he shook his rival and drew off. LAUGHINGSAINTSSONG was sent to the front and had the lead early on, was quickly challenged and relinquished the lead to another rival, stayed on top of that rival from a stalking position through the sixteenth pole then tired late but had done enough work early on to hold the place position. PERFECT PERIGEE broke sharp, was driven to try to take the lead, had to settled off the pace and stalk the early leaders from the four path, chased and closed in on the early leaders in the stretch but had to much ground to make up and had to settle for third. SUCH was racing mid pack early, drifted back along the backside while racing from the five path, was encouraged at the three eighths pole, advanced and passed rivals from the eight path into the stretch and finished well. CYPRIANO broke sharp settled off the pace from the rail position and raced even. MR. PRIORITY was off slow, raced off the pace from the four path, made slight steady gain into the turn shifted out to the nine path at the five sixteenths pole, made a mild bid into the stretch but had too much ground to make up. DONNA'S COURT was mid pack early, settled in hands off the pace, moved up at the three eighths pole, then tired at the sixteenth pole. YES BAB showed little. GRIEF was never involved.
