Chart notes

SUNBIRD away well and vied for the lead from the inside of BAK TO LIBERTY through the stretch the first time, continued to fight for the lead from along the rail in the run down the backside and into the final turn, took control through the final turn, and was never seriously threatened late. LEGACY SQUARE lagged well off the early pace while saving ground at the rail through the stretch the first time, was shuffled back to trail entering the second turn, launched his bid three wide entering the final turn, and closed determinedly five wide in the drive to get up for the place. ACCIDENTAL HERO lagged well off the early pace while racing one out from the rail through the stretch the first time, commenced his bid three wide entering the final turn, steadied briefly shortly after entering the lane, and finished three out from the rail in the drive to get up for a share. SPACE stalked the early pace while racing one out from the rail through the stretch the first time, rallied from along the inside entering the final turn, and finished from along the rail in the drive in a solid effort. LUCKY FORCE tracked the leaders through the stretch while racing one out from the rail, maintained his tracking trip two wide in the run down the backside, tipped three wide to loom a danger approaching the final turn. PURSUE lagged well off the early pace while racing three wide through the stretch the first time, commenced his bid four wide entering the final turn, but lacked the needed closing response when called upon. TAPITS CHOICE settled off the early pace while racing one out from the rail entering the stretch the first time, rallied two wide entering the final turn, but lacked the needed closing response when called upon. ROCKCLIFFE settled off the contested early pace while saving ground at the rail , dropped back to trail in the run to the final turn, rallied two wide entering the final turn, but was unable to make a serious late impact. BAK TO LIBERTY away alertly and raced to the lead two wide through the stretch the first time, forced the issue two wide into the backstretch, was unable to keep tabs on his pace rival entering the final turn, and weakened over the final furlong. WICKED NIGHT broke sharply and stalked the leaders through the stretch the first time while saving ground at the rail, struggled to maintain his position racing into the final turn, and had little to offer late.
