Chart notes

ROY HOBBS bumped with MY BUCKET LIST right after the break, quickly recovered to joined the early fray on the outside, raced four wide down the backside, engaged with TOWN PERFORMER through the turn, got the better of that one turning for home and ran on well under strong handling to prevail. MEGA MOON was off a step slow and raced behind horses but close down the backstretch, awaited room through the turn, was in a bit tight down the stretch, got clear late and surged to gain second. SLEW'S JOY broke outward at the break, fell behind early, gained several lengths on the field with the sustained run through the turn while racing wide, made a nice run through the stretch when set down but was outfinished for the place. BLUEGRASS GO GO broke sharply and joined the early pace battle, held position through the turn racing in the two path, tipped out for the stretch run, got in a bit tight near the furlong marker to lose all chance but managed to hold position to the wire. TOWN PERFORMER sent for the lead right from the break, led the field to the top of the stretch with several in close pursuit, held on well to mid-stretch then weakened passing the eighth pole. RESERVE PROOF unseated the rider and ran loose prior to the start, broke a bit slowly, chased the pacesetters down the backstretch, came under a ride early, made some forward progress then had to steady going into the turn, lacked room through the turn, came into the stretch with clear run on the rail but was spent from earlier efforts and was no factor late. RAYS REGAL struggled to keep pace early on, fell back then moved to the rail for the run into the turn, made a tepid bid from the three furlong marker when asked to pick it up and improved position a little bit. ZEE PERFECT STORY outrun from the break then fell well behind the field after a quarter mile, chased the field to the stretch, kept to task and managed to pass one in the late stages. MY BUCKET LIST broke out and made light contact with ROY HOBBS, raced between horses while part of a quartet contesting the early pace, was squeezed, then bumped by ROY HOBBS when that one shifted in, then bumped BLUEGRASS GO GO, backed out that situation then moved to the outside of the duel, reralllied briefly on the turn then began to weaken as the field turned for home and faded.
