Chart notes

ALEXANDER HELIOS set the pace in the two path, built a clear margin into the far turn, showed the way unencumbered and well in hand around that bend, was set down as an outer rival took aim entering the lane and held sway thereafter. BEN FRANKLIN stalked along the inside, took aim outside of the clear leader and from the the three path entering the lane, but drifted out from being shown a left handed crop at the three sixteenths pole, straightened out and sustained a chase into the final furlong, but drifted out once more while in pursuit at the sixteenth pole and was second best. GAME KEEPER tracked two wide and between horses, inched place and stalked the clear leader from the three path around the far turn, but yielded to the top pair while entering the lane in the four path, vied for show among rivals coming to midstretch, shifted inwardly and across a foe's path at the furlong grounds, then clung to show between foes through the final furlong. TREBLE CLEF pressed the leader from the three path, but failed to sustain pressure approaching the far turn, chased under urging from the four path around that bend, sustained stride after getting floated to the five path entering the lane, vied for show with inner rivals thereafter but missed. TIZ WICKED STRONG laid off of the pace along the inside, tugged briefly behind foes at the seven furlong pole, then saved ground around the far turn, bid for show in upper stretch, vied for that position through the final furlong but was denied. BEARINGS raced at the rear in the three to four path around the first turn, then two wide around the far turn, but lacked a rally between horses in upper stretch, then steadied when an outer foe shifted across his path at the furlong grounds. ICE TIME tracked three wide, came under urging further off of the pace in the four path around the far turn, fanned to the six path entering the lane and failed to factor.
