Chart notes

SERAPE vied three wide, then between horses turning for home as an outer rival offered a bid, got headed by that one in upper stretch, yet fought on through the final furlong to forged an advantage in the closing stages. THETRUTHISTHETRUTH dropped her head as the gates sprung and broke multiple lengths behind the leaders, recovered to track outside of the leading trio into the turn, ranged up to offer a bid nearing the lane, gained an advantage in upper stretch, held sway from an inner persistent rival while hanging on his left lead through midstretch, but succumbed to that one in the final sixteenth. MYFRIENDSAWINNER chased the leaders from the two path into the turn, trailed turning for home, shifted out to the six path in upper stretch and moved up late. FOR REAL ALICE vied two wide and between horses but yielded. TRACK SMART vied for the lead inside of a pair of rivals into the turn, then gave way through the final furlong.
