Chart notes

TOM SEAVER broke a bit slow, chased off the pace two wide into the turn, moved out three wide around the bend, tipped out into the stretch, rallied four deep and proved best on the wrong lead. KISS FOR LULU away quickly then ceded command to outer rivals but began to pull, stalked from inside through the turn, tipped out and launched a bid between rivals midstretch but got outkicked by the winner. DON'T HIT ME BASH stalked two wide into the turn, took aim three wide entering the lane, bid three deep and got outkicked by the top pair. WESTERN GRIT bumped leaving the gate, stepped to the front and set the pace inside a rival, cleared at the quarter pole, collared outside the sixteenth pole and yielded late. DRIVE FOR SHOW broke a step slow, traveled two then three wide around the turn, angled out in the drive and summoned a mild rally. STAGGER LEE broke a step slow, had to pause when bothered by outer rival early then steadied behind that foe shortly after, coaxed along the inside on the turn then had to pause in mild traffic around the bend, remained inside to the stretch, altered out late and finished willingly. CODY BOY broke a bit slow, climbed crossing the dirt, trailed on the inside to the stretch and was not a factor. SMILING JOJO brushed the gate and bumped with inner rival at the start, pressed from outside while tugging keenly, lost contact with the leader at the quarter pole and faded in the lane.
