Chart notes

SONG OF NORWAY broke outwardly, crossed over sharply while dictating the pace early on, set the pace along the inside around the turn, drew off entering the lane and opened up in hand as his rider searched for competition. SALTWATER TAFFY stumbled at the start, stalked four to three wide and outside of foes into the turn, ranged up to gain place at the five sixteenths pole, failed to keep pace with the clearing leader entering the lane and fended off an inner bidder for place in the late stages. CANDY LANDY chased along the inside, shifted out entering the lane, sustained a grinding charge before tipping inwardly in the final furlong to attempt a bid for place, but was kept at bay. JOKE MASTER failed to maintain tracking position approaching the turn, laid off of the pace along the inside, shifted to the three path in upper stretch and ran on. SHE'S ALL ELLIE lacked speed in the four path, fanned to the six path entering the lane and ran on mildly. MIDNIGHT ANGEL pressed two wide and between horses, chased the leader from the two path while inside of a rival around the turn, yielded at the quarter pole and weakened. SOTONA broke outwardly requiring a strong left rein to be corrected, then failed to maintain forward inside position and steadied hard at the five furlong pole, raced far back in the two path around the turn, shifted out to the five path in upper stretch and failed to menace. PUCKERED broke slowly, lagged behind in the two path and cut the gap late. EVERMORE raced forwardly three wide and between horses early on, but yielded at the seven sixteenths pole and faded around the turn. THE RIDER OF SOTONA CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST SONG OF NORWAY FOR INTEREFENCE IN THE OPENING STAGES; BUT THE OBJECTION WAS DISALLOWED BY THE STEWARDS.
