Chart notes

SEVEN'S ELEVEN came out a bit at the break and brushed with DOUBLE CROWN, quickly corrected and edged up in hand and to the inside of rivals to poke a head in front with five furlongs remaining, handled outside pressure into the turn, moved clear under confident handling around the turn while about two wide, responded when shaken up approaching the stretch, opened up a solid lead under a drive in mid stretch then held firm while kept alert to the wire. DOUBLE CROWN , off a bit slow after brushing with the winner, regrouped and rated towards the inside, gained inside foes leaving the far turn, tracked heading to the lane, eased out and continued on willingly to be second best. SUPER ACCELERATE , three wide between runners into the turn, steadied and dropped back past the three eighths, angled five wide under a ride into the lane, moved up past mid stretch, drifted in late and churned on. HOLY SYNCHRONICITY , four deep in range heading to the turn, moved closer three wide past the three eighths, chased into the stretchy, stayed willingly to mid stretch but flattened out late. JOE , between rivals into the turn, angled in and made a mild run nearing mid stretch, failed to continue on and faded through the final seventy yards. SAGAMORE MISCHIEF had speed between rivals then rated back to stalk, was under coaxing pursuing between runners past the five sixteenths, lacked a punch in upper stretch then faded through the final furlong. COFFEEWITHCHRIS , off a bit slow, race off the pace while saving ground into the turn, swung out for the drive but came up empty. TENAX bobbled at the break, recovered and sped to a brief lead, was headed from his inside nearing the five eighths, forced the issue outside the winner into the turn, failed to quicken past the five sixteenths and tired. HELLO HOT ROD , four wide nearing the half, was outrun.
