Chart notes

AIR SHOW chased along the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung three wide into upper stretch, angled in to the inside at the three-sixteenths, rallied up the rail to take command nearing the sixteenth marker, then edged away to the finish kept to task. QUICKFLASH coaxed from the gate, dueled along the inside of POPPY'S PRIDE early on before being shaken off by that foe, tipped out and advanced once more from the two path midway on the turn to knock heads again, swung four wide into upper stretch, continued the duel through to the finish getting displaced in tandem from the front nearing the sixteenth pole and ran on to best his pace rival for the place honors by a sliver. POPPY'S PRIDE coaxed from the start, dueled from the three path with QUICKFLASH to his inside down the backstretch, shook off that rival and tucked inside half a mile from home, had that foe advance once more midway on the turn now engaging from the outside and dueled again from the three-eighths, swung three wide into upper stretch, continued the head to head combat through to the wire getting overtaken by the top one as a pair near the sixteenth marker, ran on but was just bested for the place honors while clear for the show. FLAMINGO HAWK coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild bid. PRINCE JAMES chased three wide, got nudged four wide by BUSTIN SHOUT near the half mile pole, chased four then three wide through the turn nudging that rival back inwards with three furlongs to go, swung five wide for home and offered no response. BUSTIN SHOUT chased just off the inside, tipped out three wide nudging PRINCE JAMES four wide near the half mile pole, was inside that rival and got leaned on slightly and nudged back to the two path midway on the turn, angled four wide into upper stretch and weakened.
