Chart notes

KING ALFREDO was away a bit slow at the start, had good position outside in mid pack down the back straight, loomed the threat two furlongs from the wire, took control at the furlong marker and stubbornly prevailed by a head at the finish. THREEFIFTYSEVEN was nestled behind the frontrunner early on, rated kindly inside on the turn waiting to pounce behind the leader, had no room and was blocked straightening out for the stretch run, pushed through at the eighth pole and was full of run but unfortunately lost the nod in a photo at the wire. NEWPORT AGENT was on the rail near the back down the backstretch, continued on the rail making some gains on the leaders at the top of the lane, was behind horses at the quarter pole, shifted out to the five path finding a seam with three sixteenths to run and closed well late to be involved at the wire for the win but settling for a clear third in the end. GENDRAGON trailed the field just outside down the backside, saved ground through the turn, still could see the field in the five path at the furlong marker and passed tired rivals late for a minor share. FROSTED ICING settled near the back three deep in the early going, angled out six wide for the stretch drive to be have clear run and was not involved late running evenly to the finish. JIBARO took command from the start, set the fractions comfortably on the front end, was collared running on the rail at the three sixteenths marker by runners and stopped in the final sixteenth of a mile. SMALL TALK prompted the pace outside in the two path keeping a close eye on the pacesetter throughout the turn, was in the hunt turning for home between runners two deep, gave way at the furlong marker and tired in deep stretch.
