Chart notes

BELLA PALOMA eased back and tucked in behind the pace heading into the first turn to track from the three path, split rivals at the quarter pole, drifted out a bit to be five wide at the top of the stretch, struck the lead near the furlong marker while drifting in just a bit and edged clear. GUN RUNNIN' GAL bobbled ever so slightly at the start, pressed the pace from outside three wide, applied more pressure up the backstretch dueling on even terms, took over about the three-eighths, was outkicked by the winner but clearly second best. VOLTA D'ORO stalked four to five wide, had no extra but fought on to narrowly secure show honors. BROOKLYN GIRL broke a half-step slowly and was encouraged along early but lacking speed, raced outside at the rear caught five wide early, moved out from five to six wide on the far turn, needed more. ELKE LODGE moved straight to the front to dictate terms to the first turn racing off the rail, faced increasing outside pressure up the backstretch, was overtaken near the three-eighths pole and asked to keep pace but lacked the needed response.
