Chart notes

GASOLINE tracked two wide and between horses, chased the leader from the four path in upper stretch, flopped back to his left lead at the furlong grounds as that foe shifted across his path, yet sustained stride to bid along with an outer rival while changing back to his correct lead at the sixteenth pole, sparred among foes through the late stages and prevailed. DECISION MAKER was bumped by an inner rival at the start, raced at the rear two wide, picked up stride while shifting to the five to six path around the far turn, rallied outside of foes through the lane to offer a bid at the sixteenth pole, but was fended off by an inner rival. SANTOS DUMONT bumped an outer rival at the start before being sent to the fore approaching the first turn, set the pace along the inside, inched a clear advantage around the far turn, shifted to the two path in upper stretch, held sway while drifting out momentarily at the furlong grounds, but bore out further nearing the sixteenth pole while a pair of rivals on either side menaced, then got bested by the outer set before fending off inner rivals for show. SPEED BIAS tracked four wide, but yielded between horses turning for home, yet shifted down two wide, kept on entering the final furlong, sustained progress to attempt a bid entering the final sixteenth, but was outkicked by an outer pair and denied reaching show. ETHICAL JUDGEMENT was hustled out of the gates, stalked along the inside, chased around the far turn, sustained a rail grind to attempt a mild bid inside of rivals at the sixteenth pole, but flattened out. MASQUEPARADE lacked speed in the three path, gained five wide around the far turn, but leveled off between horses. MR. BIG NEWS raced at the rear along the inside, took the far turn in the four path, fanned to the seven path entering the lane and failed to factor. GALT stalked forwardly three wide and between horses around the first turn, but was relegated back to midpack entering the backstretch and faded. KING'S OVATION pressed two wide but weakened between horses at the three furlong pole. GROUP EIGHTEEN made little impact from the two path. PROMISE KEEPER got outrun.
