Chart notes

VERDEJO tracked outside three deep down the back straight, was content watching the frontrunner three wide on the turn keeping a close eye, moved four wide around foes to bid at the top of the stretch, drew away in the final furlong never switching leads to the wire. SACRED DANCER was away alertly to clear to the rail for the lead at the five furlong marker, set a comfortable pace alone up top through the turn, was collared giving way to the winner in mid stretch but stubbornly battled on saving the place award at the wire. HELLO FRIENDS had a poor start to begin, was then allowed to settle trailing outside in the beginning, took closer order two wide at the three furlongs marker, started to pick up horses at the top of the stretch, shifted outside off a tiring runner at the eighth pole and rallied in deep stretch to just miss the nod for place in the end. DIAMOND CRUSH travelled near the rear on the rail down the backside, could not keep up with rivals seeing the field on the turn, swung out widest in the five path for clear run straightening out for the drive and rallied down the lane surging late to be involved in the three horse place photo at the wire. GIZMO'S B F F tracked on the rail in the middle of the pack in the early going, lost ground to the leaders when scrubbed on for more inside three furlongs from the prize, continued to fight on the rail to be in with a chance for a small share turning for home and was gaining slowly to be not that far off the place share in the end. EME CLAIRE tracked the frontrunner in the two path with fellow rivals on either side down the backstretch, was nudged to go after the loose pacesetter midway on the turn to be in range in the three path at the top of the lane, could not find more to fire between foes in upper stretch and faded in the final sixteenth.
