Chart notes

HOLLYWOOD CLOSEUP raced in the middle of the pack on the outside up the backstretch, began a bid from the four path coming around the turn and kicked clear in the stretch. SEAX raced at the back of the pack through the opening quarter of a mile, came around the bend in the three path, launched a bid in upper stretch and gained ground late. HEZMORETHANREADY pressed the pace on the inside through the early going, navigated the turn from the two and three path and chased the winner home in the lane. RAY'S GONE ASTRAY tracked the leader between horses up the backstretch, raced in the two path around the turn and kept on to the finish. SMART JOKER dueled on the outside up the backstretch, continued to battle from the three path around the bend and in upper stretch and weakened late. PERFECT MOON hopped up and was blocked leaving the gate, bobbling in the process, settled off the pace on the outside from there, came around the turn in the four path and never threatened. BORDER PATROL dueled on the inside early, continued to battle while saving ground around the bend and faded in the stretch. INSTIGATING bumped with an outside rival at the break, recovered to duel between horses up the backstretch, dropped back coming around the bend, entered the stretch in the four path and continued to fade from there. HIGHJUMP CHARLIE trailed the field through the opening quarter, navigated the turn from the four path and made no bid. DUKE OF DOOLY chased the leader on the outside up the backstretch, angled in to save ground around the bend and tired in the stretch. OUR DARK COURAGE veered in and bumped with the horse to his inside at the start, raced off the pace between horses early, came around the bend in the three path and was empty in the lane. VIDA FINA raced in the middle of the pack on the inside up the backstretch, continued around the turn in the two path and tired in the stretch.
