Chart notes

SUGAR GRAY LEONARD four wide in pursuit, remained patiently handled and was set down spinning five to six wide into upper stretch, rallied to take over command a furlong from home, edged clear under a drive to prevail. KING JAMES stumbled at the start, chased three paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four to five wide through the turn, swung three to four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick to get up in the final jumps for the place honors. IGNITED bobbled at the break, pressed the pace three wide, got let out continuing three wide into upper stretch, took over brief command just inside the three-sixteenths, then got headed for the front a furlong out and ran on through to the finish getting collared late for the place honors while well clear of the rest for the show. LET FREEDOM SPRING hustled from the gate, chased six then five wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went six to seven wide into upper stretch and weakened. BURN JAKEY BURN chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, continued along the inside into upper stretch, tired. FORWARD MOVE established the front and showed the way in hand just off the inside in hand, had the rider sneak a peek to his right side nearing the half mile pole, came under increased pressure through the turn from IGNITED, got placed to coaxing near the quarter pole and spun just off the inside into upper stretch, yielded the front just inside the three-sixteenths, the rider again peeking outwards to the right side, then got placed to a protective hold a furlong from home and was eased through to the finish. MAMA'S GOLD stumbled at the start, chased five then four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three to four wide into upper stretch and tired. IMAGE OF QUALITY chased inside briefly before tipping to the two path, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung two to three wide into upper stretch and faltered.
