Chart notes

LOADED MUSKET broke out and pinballed YOU ENJOY MYSELF into MIGHTY RULER, then once settled into stride moved into a tracking position while racing on the rail, was patiently ridden through the turn, took advantage of an opening along the rail at the top of the stretch, took a short lead, battled with RIVER'S BENCHMARK for a bit, got the better of that rival in mid-stretch and pulled clear. YOU ENJOY MYSELF broke a beat slow then was pinballed between LOADED MUSKET and MIGHY RULER, shuffled back and spotted much of the field a head start, got into stride, raced along the rail and followed LOADED MUSKET through the tur, tipped out to the three path in deep stretch and was making up ground on the winner once clear but ran out of race track. RIVER'S BENCHMARK broke well, was hustled away and seized the inside path, was pushed along by MIGHTY RULER and GO GABRIELLA to the outside, began to inch away from those two passing the half-mile pole, opened up a clear lead passing the quarter pole, left the rail open allowing the eventual winner to slip through, ran on well but weakened inside the final furlong. MIGHTY RULER ducked in at the break to avoid contact with THECHIEFHASTRICKS, then had to correct to avoid LOADED MUSKET to the inside resulting in another encounter with THECHIEFHASTRICKS yet still managed to become part of the early pace scenario, dueled between horses to the half mile pole, steadied slightly near the quarter pole, chased the leaders to mid-stretch and flattened out in the late stages. THECHIEFHASTRICKS broke in at the start causing a chain reaction to the inside, was up close with the tracking group down the backstretch then lost some ground through the turn, found a second wind turning into the stretch, tipped out to the four path and into the path of MAFIA MAN then was forced out wider by a tiring MAJOR TOM, lost ground at the furlong marker and lacked a late rally. MAJOR TOM got a clean break then was encouraged to stay close to the pace, was under a drive throughout, raced four wide through the turn, was in contention turning for home but weakened in the stretch. MAFIA MAN was forced out a bit after the break by GO GABRIELLA to the inside, raced wide and mid-pack down the backstretch, started a tepid rally from the three-eighths pole while racing in the five path, was still five wide into the stretch, encountered some traffic near the three-sixteenths pole then angled to the inside but could not improve position. HOLY SMOKES lacked any early foot, tried to rally from the rear though the turn, could not make any headway and ran on one-paced to the finish. BANOG BOY broke well but was outrun to the turn, chased the field to the stretch, gradually drifted to the middle of the track down the stretch and passed one in the final yards. GO GABRIELLA broke out at the start but was still one of the quickest away, raced on the outside of a trio vying for the early lead, struggled to keep up with the pace approaching the five-sixteenths marker, came under a drive, did not respond and had nothing left for the stretch run.
