Chart notes

THE BEST DISTANCE set an open pace in the two path, was roused while just off the rail into the far turn, received a right handed cue while floating out to the five path into the lane, and extended his advantage under a drive. CAPTAIN ANTHONY was unhurried around the three path into the backstretch, roused approaching the quarter, swung out to the six path turning into the stretch, and kept on while tipping slightly inwards for place. STARSHIP WIZARD was hustled along outside of a tracking foe in the four path, under urging from the three path turning into the lane, and was one paced for show. HARD TO FATHOM tracked in the three path, was coaxed while shifting to the rail into the far turn, and faded along the inside passing the eighth pole. BACKCHAT rated in the four path, floated out to the six path turning into the lane, and made no impact. READYSEEKGO chased inside of rivals in the two path, but backed up passing the half, and was no menace.
