Chart notes

FREEDOM FACTOR raced from mid pack on the rail, improved at the half on the rail, angled out at the quarter pole, closed down the stretch, collared the early leaders at the eighth pole, held on for the win. OPTIMUS KAT vied for the lead from in between horses, rated just off of the pace, settled even further back through the turn, launched a bid at the quarter pole, responded well and closed well under strong encouragement, split horses in the last sixteenth of a mile, and was up for second with an impressive drive. I'M D'CAT settled off of the pace in hands in the three path, advanced at the half mile pole, was cued and responded well at the quarter pole, closed ground and improved position with every stride, struggled to switch leads by still ran a game third. AZTAR vied for the the lead from the three path, set the pace in a set of three, improved position from in between horses through the turn, battled for the lead down the stretch, faltered after the sixteenth pole. AFTER AZTAR CROSSED THE FINISH LINE HE WAS PULLED UP AND VANNED OFF. RUN ROCKET trailed early, mild improvement. HOSTILE AFLEET flashed early speed then faltered. FETCHS BRAHM made no impact. ROOSTER RUN was never involved.
