Chart notes

WALTER ME LAD had a good tracking position three wide watching the contesting pair into the turn, bid four wide at the top of the lane, took control at the furlong marker and was drawing away at the wire. SECRET STORM had a good spot inside watching the top two battle on the turn, waited for a seam as they straightened out, slipped up the fence at the eighth pole and closed in to be a clear second in the end. BIG RANSOM was away alertly leading the field in the early going, was pressed outside for the front on the turn, continued to battle on inside for the top spot in upper stretch and finished up willingly holding onto the show award. SEATTLE DOWN UNDER broke outwards at the start, was on hold between rivals in the early part of the backstretch running, began to rally three eighths from the prize between runners, angled out to the five path at the top of the lane and closed in for a minor role. YORKVILLE hounded the pace in the beginning, pressed the issue up front throughout the turn in the two path, was in the mix with horses on either side as they entered the stretch and faded in the final sixteenth. WICKEDBLACKBULLET stalked in mid pack with a half remaining, advanced nicely on the rail running on the turn and could only offer an even effort to the finish line. PREETZAH'S STAR was fractious at the break, travelled in midfield four wide on the turn and made little impact running to the finish line. DEFOGGER broke out at the start, travelled outside near the rear in the backstretch, could not get involved running on the turn and was not a factor in the late stages of the race. PASSIONPLATE settled in midfield on the rail at the half, was shuffled back inside entering the turn, was ridden to keep up with runners three furlongs remaining, offered little response and made no impression in the stretch. ARNIE P was void of speed on the rail down the backside, trailed throughout and could not be a presence in the stretch.
