Chart notes

SHELL FIRE slow early to trail the field, raced wide in the clear down the backstretch, rallied steadily from five wide midway on the turn, angled to the eight path at the head of the lane, and found his best stride late to be up in time at the wire. SMASH set the pace on a clear lead to midway down the lane and was caught in the final yards by the fast closing winner. FRANCO reserved off the pace through the turn, saved ground rallying along the fence in the stretch and was gaining late. BOURBON OVER ICE raced wide in the first turn, settled to stalk the pacesetter to upper stretch and kept on through the lane willingly. TUSKEGEE CAT tracked the pace from three wide under stout restraint down the backside while in striking position, bumped rival turning for home and failed to gain in the stretch drive. SKIDSTREAM well placed along the rail just off the leader to the far turn, made a bid up the inside to the quarter pole and finished evenly. DON'T POKE THE CAT well placed through the turn, rallied turning for home, exchanged bumps in upper stretch and flattened out. SCAT SHACK failed to menace. TAMANRASSETT was never a threat.
