Chart notes

RIVER TAY (IRE) three wide through the first turn, raced three wide down the backstretch before tipping briefly to the two path with seven-sixteenths to go, tipped back three wide through the far turn and came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, continued three wide into upper stretch rallying to issue a challenge nearing the eighth pole, had the rider lose the handle on the crop bouncing it up and nearly caught it a furlong out just before taking command, dug in under hands and heels only among a host in a blanket finish to the wire getting bumped just inside the sixteenth marker by VOLATILITY and then returning the bump two strides after and held gamely to the finish kept to task. CATSKILL HUMOR broke a half a beat slow, chased two then three wide through the first turn before chasing two to three wide down the backstretch settled near the rear of the field, came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole and angled out five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive jostling KATIE'S CHECKRIDE and bouncing that foe around in tandem with ST. BENEDICTS PREP just inside the eighth pole, then offered up a late surge in tandem with LOOKINFORBARGAINS and missed loosely between foes at the end. LOOKINFORBARGAINS settled along the inside at the tail of the field through the first turn before tipping two to three wide down the backstretch, tucked inside once more through the far turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled out six wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive holding her lane through to the finish surging late in concert with the aforementioned foe and missed on the line. VOLATILITY just off the inside through the opening turn, chased two to three wide down the backstretch and then three wide through the far turn coming under coaxing nearing the quarter pole, swung five then four wide straightened away into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge a furlong out, dug in under a drive bumping RIVER TAY just inside the sixteenth marker while threatening for command, then got bumped two strides thereafter by that rival while among a host of rivals latched on to the finish and ran on to the wire missing at the end. ST. BENEDICTS PREP tracked the pace along the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and jostled and bounced around KATIE'S CHECKRIDE in tandem with CATSKILL HUMOR just inside the eighth pole, angled in when spying a large lane opening and darted to it but was outfinished. KATIE'S CHECKRIDE coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside until tipped out to the two path nearing the five-sixteenths placed to coaxing, swung four then three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive behind rivals looking for a seam when getting bumped and jostled and bounced between CATSKILL HUMOR to the outside and ST. BENEDICTS PREP to the inside, made no headway to the finish. DREAM FLY grew rank under restraint early on off the heels of KATIE'S CHECKRIDE, settled once able to tip to the two path with clearance midway on the first turn, tracked along the inside from near the rear of the field, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung four to five wide into upper stretch, steadied in behind foes bumping just inside the eighth pole and then offered no kick. WONDER GIRL coaxed from the gate, prompted the pace from the two path coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. NURSEKRINGLEDANCES showed the way in hand along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch, yielded the front nearing the eighth pole and weakened in the late going.
