Chart notes

TRY TRY AGAIN forwardly placed just inside MY LITTLE TIPSY on the backstretch, was boxed in and brushed several times with COMFORT ME NOW taking the bend, altered inside MY LITTLE TIPSY upper stretch, took the lead with a sixteenth left, was clear seventy yards out and kept COMFORT ME NOW at bay. COMFORT ME NOW prominent between rivals, was brushed and crowded several times by TRY TRY AGAIN through the turn, came into the lane outside MY LITTLE TIPSY, rallied belatedly and began to drift out under left-handed pressure in the waning yards. MY LITTLE TIPSY set a pressured pace off the rail, angled in into the bend, moved clear, floated out some entering the stretch and gradually wore down between rivals nearing the final sixteenth. NOT AGAIN JACKIE bumped with LITTLE MIGHTY MAN leaving the chute, chased from outside, came five wide into the lane and showed a willingness to run late. CARL G hesitated at the break, came into contention along the rail on the turn, fanned out to path four for the drive and began to flatten out. LITTLE MIGHTY MAN squeezed between horses briefly leaving the chute, was an early factor toward the outside but faded just off the inside on the bend. PAYSTER pressed the pace from outside on the backstretch but began to fade between horses on the turn.
