Chart notes

SPORTS EDITOR brushed a rival lightly at the start, moved out and continued to drift six to seven deep heading into the first turn, moved back in and raced about mid-pack still wide and outside foes, fanned six wide into the stretch, drifted in once in upper- to mid-stretch bumping a rival, dueled late to prevail. MISSION MAN was lightly bumped at the start, angled in and saved ground on the first turn, advanced on the leaders on the far turn while being guided out late on that bend, bid in between runners in upper stretch, was bumped between foes, dueled late and was outfinished. PHOTO COPY angled in after the start, settled tracking inside up close, switched out and went two wide into the far turn, moved out four deep, was in contention in upper stretch, bumped and steadied by mid-stretch and ran on for show. DIZZY KITTY prompted the pace from outside going three wide, drifted in at the gap in mid-stretch, lacked the needed late kick. ELFUEGOMASBRILANTE settled in the back half of the field angling in early, saved ground on the far turn, advanced inside foes on the far turn, came out a bit in the stretch and ran on evenly. REBEL JOKE raced mid-pack outside foes into the first turn three wide, continued racing mid-pack moving out from two to four wide on the far turn, ran on evenly and needed more. GHOST OF KHOZAN was reluctant to load, broke well and vied inside, could not kick on from upper stretch, was forced in a bit in mid-stretch at the gap, faded. FACTUM LOVE STYLE angled in and was unhurried at the rear early, came out for the stretch run and passed foes. THE FIRE WITHIN raced toward the rear two to three wide, needed more. MINTENON was forwardly-positioned between runners, forced the pace up the backstretch, retreated. EMOTIONAL RESCUE bumped the outer foe and steadied at the start, was forwardly-positioned stalking just off the leading trio two to three wide, dropped back and tired. MR. COWBOY BRADLEY was lightly brushed at the start, gained forward position in pursuit of the leaders tucking in two to three wide into the first turn, dropped back from the three-eighths and faded. FOLLOWING AN OBJECTION BY THE RIDER OF MISSION MAN AGAINST SPORTS EDITOR AS WELL AS AN OBJECTION BY THE RIDER OF PHOTO COPY AGAINST BOTH OF THE FORMER ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH, SPORTS EDITOR WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM FIRST AND PLACED THIRD BEHIND PHOTO COPY FOR INTERFERING WITH THAT RIVAL AND MISSION MAN IN A CHAIN REACTION OF BUMPS IN THE STRETCH.
