Chart notes

BIG PRANKSTER broke very fast and went straight to the front then angled in early, showed the way down the backstretch, dictated terms in the two path on the turn, responded well when shaken up in upper stretch and drew off under a very mild hand ride to win handily. LIBERTY CENTRAL was fractious behind the gate and reluctant to load, bumped with a foe at the start, chased the pace on the outside then in the three path on the turn, was driven four wide into the stretch, remained on his inside lead until outside the furlong marker then swapped to the proper lead and safely secured the place while no match for the winner. DOC SULLIVAN climbed greenly into the kickback near the five-eighths pole, was urged along near the rear, dropped further behind late on the backstretch, angled from the four path to the rail on the turn and improved for the show. SOLO EMPIRE was last to commence then ridden along on the outside, went five wide on the turn, dropped inward in upper stretch and was no factor. UPTOMYKNEESINIT chased the pace while just behind the leader, checked sharply while lugging out into the turn, went around that bend in the two path under a right-handed crop, angled out into upper stretch, remained on his inside lead in the drive and came up empty. PERNO was hustled from the gate, raced just off the pace, tossed his head and was taken back while keen under tight restraint at the nine-sixteenths, dropped further back leaving the backstretch, was roused three wide on the turn, floated six wide into upper stretch, remained on his inside lead in the drive and had nothing left. FRANKIE R. bumped with a rival at the start, dropped back under some urging, went two to three wide on the turn and failed to respond. HAIR ON FIRE broke in at the start, climbed into kickback while urged at the rear, moved from the rail to the three path on the turn, came six wide into upper stretch and showed little.
