Chart notes

ESCAPOLOGIST raced in the two path around the first turn, dueled on the outside up the backstretch and around the far bend, kicked clear in the lane and held that margin to the wire. JR'S GIFT saved ground early, tracked the leader up the backstretch, came around the turn in the two path and gained ground late. ROUTE RUNNER raced in the three path around the first bend, stalked the pace setter on the outside up the backstretch, began a bid from the three path coming around the second turn and chased on to the finish. B SUDD raced in the two path early, dueled on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the second turn and weakened in the lane. BRIGHT SPARK trailed the field while saving ground throughout and never threatened. WESLAN raced in the two path around the first turn, settled off the pace for the run up the backstretch, swung out to the three and four path coming around the turn and was empty from there.
