Chart notes

HANG TIGHT just off the inside through the first turn, settled three wide down the backstretch in pursuit from the tail of the field, went four wide through the far turn given some rein to work with but otherwise patiently handled until let out swinging seven wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive steadily gaining to arrive into contention inside the final sixteenth and was up in the last jumps to score. COOL QUARTET three then two wide through the first turn, chased three then four wide coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung five to six wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive issuing a challenge inside the final furlong, seized command loosely between foes inside the final sixteenth before getting nailed in the final strides. ACHILLES HEEL four then three wide through the first turn, chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive taking command a sixteenth from home, dug in and was caught with seventy yards to the finish by a pair and forced to settle for the show honors. BOBBY G coaxed from the gate, chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid. WILD BANKER coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, angled in to the rail near the eighth pole offering up a bid, then flattened out in the late stages. DONTBELATE four then three wide through the first turn, prompted the leader from the outside in the two path, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and was set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch knocking heads on near even terms with the leader, took narrow advantage a furlong from home, got displaced when overwhelmed with a sixteenth to run and weakened in the late going. LORD GATLING forwardly placed three then two wide into the first turn, took over command and showed the way in hand along the inside under prompting from the aforementioned foe to the outside, came under coaxing at the three-eighths and knocked heads through the latter portion of the turn and took the inside route into upper stretch, yielded the front near the eighth pole and weakened in the final furlong. STYNER stumbled badly at the start getting away last, raced five then four wide through the first turn, chased three wide advancing on the top pair midway down the backstretch, was in range of that pair of rivals when placed to coaxing near the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch in retreat and weakened in the drive. PER RULING FROM HIWU, HANG TIGHT WAS DISQUALIFIED FOR POSITIVE TEST.
