Chart notes

GARY'S FLYING LION dueled on the outside up the backstretch, continued to battle from the three path coming around the turn and dug in gamely to the wire to get the head bob for the win. WYNN TRIP bumped with the horses to both sides leaving the gate, settled in the middle of the pack on the outside for the run up the backstretch, came around the bend in the four path, launched a bid in upper stretch and gained ground steadily inside to just miss. FINAL VERDICT dueled on the inside through the opening quarter, continued to battle from the two path coming around the turn and dug in gamely in the stretch but just missed. IM STILL BRAVE raced in the middle of the pack on the inside early, navigated the turn from the three path and improved position in the stretch. SEAX trailed the field on the outside up the backstretch, came around the turn in the three and four path, began a bid passing the quarter pole and gained ground late. HEAVY WEIGHT stalked the leader on the inside up the backstretch, raced in the two path around the turn and was outkicked in the lane. MIRO raced off the pace between horses early, swung out to the five path coming into the lane and passed tiring horses from there. CHOWMEIN bumped with the horse to his outside at the start, tracked the leaders up the backstretch, raced in the three path around the turn and faded in the stretch. SASSY B KEEN bumped with the horse to her inside leaving the gate, settled at the back of the pack on the rail through the early going, came around the turn in two path and showed no kick. EAST TO BEAST chased the leaders on the inside up the backstretch, dropped back while saving ground around the turn and continued to tire in the stretch. OUR DARK COURAGE raced off the pace on the outside through the opening stages, navigated the bend from the four path and made no bid.
