Chart notes

HEEZESPEEDY hounded the pacesetter outside throughout the turn, took command on the outside in mid-stretch and was edging away for the win in deep stretch. MY ASSISTANT set the pace while shadowed outside down the backstretch, continued to set the fractions inside under a slim advantage through the turn, was collared outside by the winner at the furlong pole, could not go on but bested the rest at the finish. BUSTA GROOVE settled on the inside stalking near the back, rallied three wide outside horses in midturn, loomed in the five path at the top of the lane and ran with intent to the finish to hold for the show placing. POLA STAR stalked near the rear on the outside, began to lengthen stride three wide around foes at the quarter pole, angled inwards to the fence at the furlong marker and finished up well just missing the nod for third money at the wire. MIAH SAID bobbled soon after the start trailing down the backside, saved ground still seeing the field on the turn, swung out with momentum in the five path for the drive and showed some interest passing few down the stretch. COMMANDER AT SEA kept a close eye on the engaged pair running outside rivals three wide down the back straight, took closer order to the front two tracking three wide around the bend, was in the mix of things in the four path between foes turning for home but could not find more and wilted in the final furlong. BELLASPINA tracked the front pair in the second flight with runners on each side at the half, was scrubbed on for more midturn, offered little run and had nothing to give in the stretch drive. GLOBAL CHAIRMAN broke inwards at the start, had a good position tucked in on the rail watching the front dup at the half, was hard ridden on the fence with five sixteenths to go, could not keep pace with others and retreated in upper stretch.
