Chart notes

RIPKEN was unhurried early, raced three wide into the second turn, shifted out to the seven path out of the turn, was gaining steadily, hooked up up with NEUTRAL through the stretch and out finished that rival and was up in time for the win. NEUTRAL was outrun early, angled out to the six path out of the second turn, was closing fast with the winner and just missed for the win. PEJA DU stumbled at the start, was rushed to be in a tracking position, raced five wide through the second turn, made a bid for the lead, couldn't hold off the top two and finished evenly late. JONES FALLS was up close early, raced four wide through the second turn, kept on and was out finished late stretch. SIGMUND set a clear early pace, raced three wide into the turns and weakened late stretch. MENTALIST was allowed to settle early, saved ground throughout and was empty late. DON'T BLAME FREDDY raced in mid pack early, advanced between rivals into the home turn and flattened out. SPIRITUAL GHOST was void of any speed, raced five wide into the second turn and never fired.
