Chart notes

WHITE ABARRIO forwardly placed from the start, raced three then two wide through the first turn before settling to attend the leader from the outside while three wide, remained patiently handled latched on to the outside applying pressure through his presence, got given a notch to work with at the five-sixteenths and took over the front nearing the quarter pole, swung four wide into upper stretch set down for the drive, drew clear under a drive drifting in to the two path a furlong out, then got flashed the crop to the left side and shied outwards before being ridden out to the finish through the final sixteenth. ZANDON raced along the inside through the first turn and then tracked from just off the inside just off the pace, came under light coaxing near the seven-sixteenths and tipped three wide, had the rider sneak a peek back looking for CODY'S WISH, tipped out four wide under urging at the three-eighths nearly in front of that rival, swung five wide into upper stretch, proved no match for the top one while running on clear of the rest to be along second best. CODY'S WISH was leaning on the right side of the stall a bit unprepared for the start when the latch was sprung and lost his hind footing skidding out of the gate and conceding three to four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased just off the inside through the first turn at the tail of the field before tipping three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch, got given a notch to work with into the far turn before coming under coaxing just past the seven-sixteenths, followed ZANDON four wide through the bend and angled six wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and improved position to just get up for the show honors on the wire. CHARGE IT coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside through the first turn and then three wide down the backstretch just off the pace, tucked to the two path into the far turn placed to prolonged coaxing half a mile from home, swung three wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals to the finish just getting bested for the show honors in the final jumps. GIANT GAME coaxed from the gate, established the front narrowly and showed the way just off the inside through the first turn before taking to the rail down the backstretch under the watchful eye of WHITE ABARRIO and facing some pressure from that rival's presence latched on to the outside, tipped to the two path into the far turn, came under coaxing nearing the five-sixteenths under intensified challenge from his main pace prompter, yielded the front and swung three wide at the head of the stretch, then weakened in the drive. LAST SAMURAI three wide just off the pace through the first turn, chased four then three wide coming under urging at the seven-sixteenths, lost ground and swung four wide at the top of the stretch, faltered, and was eased home to the finish.
