Chart notes
GEAUX ROCKET RIDE moved off the inside going into the clubhouse turn, stalked three wide, moved up four wide nearing the far turn, made a strong three wide bid on the turn, dueled with ARABIAN KNIGHT, then hooked up with MAGE in upper stretch, responded to that challenge passing the furlong marker, took charge and drew clear under urging. MAGE raced three wide early, settled off the pace between horses, moved up three wide on the far turn, rallied four wide into the stretch, made a strong bid outside of the winner, dueled heads apart passing the eighth pole, dug in gamely but settled for the place spot. ARABIAN KNIGHT broke sharply, stalked AWESOME STRONG early on, then moved up outside to contest the pace, took over, dueled three wide nearing the far turn, then dueled inside of GEAUX ROCKET RIDE on the far turn, weakened in the lane, then stayed on well to hold third. EXTRA ANEJO raced four wide early, settled three wide off the pace, moved up four wide on the far turn, rallied mildly and went evenly late. TAPIT TRICE raced off the pace inside, moved up two wide on the far turn, came four wide into the lane and lacked a rally. HOWGREATISNATE broke open the gate prior, raced off the pace inside, made a rail bid at the three eights marker, dueled on the turn and faded. SALUTE THE STARS pulled early on, checked entering the clubhouse turn and was rank on the turn, then stalked between rivals, bid four wide at the three eighths marker, chased between horses on the turn and faded. AWESOME STRONG vied inside for the lead, dueled between rivals nearing the far turn, then gave way.
