Chart notes

JUNIOR HOT SHOT broke out, hitting the gate on the break, recovered to take this field down the back straight, was very comfortable dictating terms throughout the bend, opened up quickly when asked in mid-stretch and cruised to the wire under a hand ride. COUNTRY LIVING tracked the pacesetter running on the rail in hand in the beginning, could not maintain inside position when coaxed, shuffled back on the fence entering the turn losing a position, was set down on the inside battling for second money at the top of the lane and outfinished outside rival for the place share late. BUCK'S FIZZ watched the top pair three wide outside in the early part of the backstretch, picked up the bit to prompt the frontrunner outside on the turn, was roused right handed trying to match strides with the winner at the quarter pole, could not make any gains in upper stretch and faded dueling for second money in the final furlong settling for a clear third in the end. PERFECT FOREST stalked outside near the rear in the early going, advanced inside on the turn, shifted out four wide at the quarter pole and finished up evenly to the wire for a minor role in a strung out field. ADESSO attempted to veer in leaving the chute, lost action briefly, regrouped to see the field through the backside, was under a ride catching up to the field at the three furlong marker and could not reach contention passing only a tired foe in upper stretch. GUARDTHEROCK settled all alone outside through the backstretch watching the front trio, could not get involved when roused on the turn, was floated out to the five path for the drive and had little to show in the stretch run.
