Chart notes

GOD IS LOVE rated kindly three wide while tracking the embattled leaders, bid three deep leaving the half mile marker, gained a slim advantage nearing mid turn, wandered outward a bit as he and WICKED MAD emerged in their own battle entering the lane, kept on under right handed asks dueling past mid stretch, edged clear late and held firm. WICKED MAD vied outside SHOFAR early on, sparred between runners leaving the far turn, dug in after GOD IS LOVE moved to command, stayed on to duel inside that one through the lane, switched over to his left lead late but held well. FERMAT settled towards the inside, angled out around the turn, circled four wide pursuing the leaders into the stretch but came up empty. SHOFAR set a pressured pace towards the rail, could not go with the top pair leaving the three eighths and weakened.
