Chart notes

WEALLLIKEDHIM was content to track the loose speedster down the backside, took closer order by the quarter pole, was in the hunt three wide at the top of the lane and finished up determinedly between rivals in a well rated ride for the win. SO CALLED VACATION travelled in midpack in the beginning, could see the field entering the turn, advanced smartly on the fence through the turn, began to lengthen stride in the two path turning for home, was steadied in tight quarters at the furlong pole losing momentum and could not re-rally to gain on the winner in deep stretch. COHERENCE trailed four deep at the half, circled around foes four wide at the quarter pole, loomed in the four path at the top of the stretch but could not find another gear late and stalled nearing the wire to settle for third in the end. SUGARTAP was loose on the lead down the backstretch, continued to set brisk fractions up front through the turn, was shortening stride asking for the wire turning for home, drifted out while giving way at the furlong marker and held for a minor share at the wire. DEMBA settled near the rear with rivals on either side at the half, was asked to keep position between foes midway on the turn, could not quicken with others and lacked a bid driving to the finish line. SOVEREIGN CAUSE tossed its head right on the break, hesitated at the start spotting the field in the early going, recovered by the half mile marker to track the front two down the backside, shifted outside with three furlongs remaining but retreated through the turn to see the field inside at the quarter pole, re-rallied mildly in upper stretch on the fence and emptied out in the final sixteenth. STEWARDS INQUIRY REGARDING #4 SOVEREIGN CAUSE ON THE BREAK WAS DEEMED TO HAVE RECIEVED A FAIR START. RCOF #1 SO CALLED VACATION ON #2 WEALLLIKEDHIM IN THE VICINITY OF THE EIGHTH POLE RESULTED IN NO CHANGE.
