Chart notes

PLAYERA raced off the pace on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the turn, began a bid passing the quarter pole and gained ground late to kick clear. CHESS NOT CHECKERS tracked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, challenged from the two path coming around the turn, was clear in upper stretch and caught in the final furlong, chasing the winner home from there. STRIKING CHROME stalked the leader between horses through the opening stages, came around the bend in the four path and kept on to the wire. PURE ELEGANCE hit the gate leaving it, raced off the pace on the outside early, navigated the turn from the four path and improved position in the stretch. DRILL'S VALENTINE raced in the middle of the pack on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the bend and showed no kick. MISS MAC MAC veered out at the start, recovered to lead the way up the backstretch, dueled from the rail around the second turn and tired in the lane. PERFORMANCEANXIETY raced in the middle of the pack on the outside through the opening quarter, came around the turn in the two path and faded in the stretch. GRAND ARROW chased the leader on the inside up the backstretch, continued around the bend in the three path, gave way approaching the quarter pole and was empty from there.
