Chart notes

JOSE JOSE away alertly while breaking inwards in the opening strides before asserting himself on the lead in the run to the first turn, controlled the pace in the run down the backstretch while well in hand, opened a clear advantage approaching the final turn, and widened his margin over the final furlong under confident handling. BAK TO LIBERTY was fractious prior to the start, and was pushed in slightly in the opening strides, but quickly recovered and tracked the leader into the first turn while racing one out from the rail, continued to track the pacesetter into the backstretch, was unable to keep tabs on that foe nearing the final turn, but finished one out from the rail in the drive to prove clearly second best. CAIRO CRUSADER broke sharply while breaking inwards in the opening strides, tracked the leader into the backstretch while saving ground at the rail, rallied along the inside entering the final turn, and finished willingly from along the rail in the drive to garner a share. MAGIC ROAD stalked the early pace while racing three wide into the backstretch, rallied two out from the rail entering the final turn, and finished with late interest two wide in the drive. TAPITS CHOICE steadied when pushed in at the start, saved ground while in a stalking position entering the first turn, but steadied off heels midway through the turn, saved ground throughout, but failed to make a late impact. UNION MAN tracked the leader into the backstretch while racing two out from the rail, dropped back approaching the final turn, and had little to offer late.
