Chart notes

BUTTONWOOD TREE settled off of the contentious early pace, tracked the solid fractions along the backstretch run, was roused leaving the three-furlong pole and mounted a three wide bid approaching the quarter marker, confronted OH GREAT and battled with that foe to mid-stretch, dueled into the final sixteenth, surged in the final strides and won the nod on the wire to prevail. OH GREAT (IRE) contested the early pace with WESTERN CAPE then took command into the backstretch run, set solid fractions while prompted to the half-mile marker, shook free along the far turn, was confronted by BUTTONWOOD TREE in upper stretch and battled with that rival to the furlong grounds, dueled with BUTTONWOOD TREE into the final sixteenth and took a narrow lead into deep stretch, could not hold off a final surge by the winner and was nipped on the line for the win, while just holding for second. O B'S was squeezed at the start and was away slowly, was allowed to settle in the early stages, coaxed along outside of rivals into the second turn and raced four wide to the quarter marker, came in tight behind a drifting rival at mid-stretch and bumped with CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN at the furlong marker, rallied while widest heading to the sixteenth-marker, closed fast in deep stretch and just missed for the win and place, while holding safely for the show. UNCLE WALT was allowed to settle off of the early pace, raced two wide into the backstretch run and saved ground into the far turn while well positioned, came in a bit tight nearing the top of the stretch and tipped three wide for the drive, drifted out under firm urging at the furlong marker, was gaining in deep stretch but could not reel in the top three. CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN settled outside of rivals in the early going, maintained a three wide path while holding his position into the far turn, came in tight nearing mid-stretch, was bumped and steadied leaving the furlong pole and finished evenly in the final stages. CANELITO settled off of the solid early pace, saved all of the ground to the far turn, tipped two wide for the stretch drive and did not threaten. WESTERN CAPE disputed the early pace with OH GREAT, ceded the lead to that rival into the backstretch run and stalked the solid pace to the half-mile pole, lost ground approaching the quarter marker while two wide and tired in the stretch. HOT CHICKS ONLY was a bit slow into stride early on, raced in the four path while hard to place along the first turn, lost contact along the backstretch run and did not factor.
