Chart notes

FEATHERS ROAD coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, tucked inside straightened away and was in behind COURAGEOOUS OH LA and altered out to the two path at the three-sixteenths and then the three path near the eighth pole, split foes at that station and was bumped nearing the sixteenth marker by GOLDEN ARM coming in under a right handed crop, dug in being flashed the crop to the left side and was just up in the last jump to the wire to score. EMPIRE SKY four wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled out six wide into upper stretch, closed well outside and just missed at the finish. NEWPORT BRIDGE hustled from the gate, raced forwardly placed advancing to duel with COURAGEOOUS OH LA inside the half mile pole, tucked to the two path and knocked heads through the turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole before being set down spinning three wide into upper stretch taking over narrow command, dug in under a drive clinging to the front and fending off rivals to the outside, then got nailed in the final jumps by a pair. GOLDEN ARM broke out at the start under hustling and bumped HIGH TONE, chased three wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole before being let out swinging four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive, came in under a right handed crop and bumped FEATHERS ROAD nearing the sixteenth pole, then missed at the end. COURAGEOOUS OH LA coaxed from the gate, led early on before being engaged by NEWPORT BRIDGE to the outside half a mile from home, knocked heads through the turn coaxed along, spun just off the inside into upper stretch displaced from the front, then weakened in the late stages. HE'S GOT IT coaxed from the start, chased five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, closed in to the finish but was outkicked. DREAMPOINT chased along the inside under coaxing from three furlongs out, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid but was outkicked. HIGH TONE got bumped at the start by GOLDEN ARM, who broke outwards, chased six to seven paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked four wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung seven wide into upper stretch and made no impact. ON OUR WAY BOYZ lunged at the break bobbling when he landed and conceded two lengths to the front, chased three then two wide coaxed along from midway on the turn, angled five wide into upper stretch and weakened.
