Chart notes

LOON CRY tracked the pace along the inside patiently handled until roused spinning four then five wide into upper stretch, rallied under a light and brief drive to take command just inside the eighth pole, then edged away back in hand through the final sixteenth to prevail comfortably on the wire. ITSAKEYPER chased just off the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, angled four wide into upper stretch, ran on to just secure the place honors in the final jump to the finish. ROAD TO REMEMBER broke out a step at the start bumping QUEENS DANCER, chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung three wide into upper stretch, ran on to secure the show honors. MASTEROF THE TUNES tracked the pace along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, kept on to the finish but was out-finished in the late stages. MZ BIG BUCKS hustled from the gate, prompted the leader along the inside early on before being shaken off near the half mile pole, tipped to the two path with seven-sixteenths to go and advanced once more this time to the outside of the leader, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened in the final furlong. QUEENS DANCER got bumped at the start by ROAD TO REMEMBER, who broke out a step, showed the way in hand just off the inside under some pressure early on from MZ BIG BUCKS to the inside, cleared that foe and tucked to the inside at the half mile pole, had that rival advance once more outside three furlongs from home, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, cut the corner into upper stretch, dug in clinging to command from a host of rivals a furlong out before being overhauled just inside that station and weakened through to the finish.
