Chart notes

TAP AND CHU raced in the two path around the first turn, tracked the leader on the inside up the backstretch, swung out to the four path coming around the far turn, launched a bid passing the quarter pole and dueled to the wire, edging clear late. TESHIMA raced in the three path around the first turn, chased the leader between horses up the backstretch, led the way from the three path coming around the second bend and dueled in the lane, getting caught late. JOYOUS FAIRY TALE saved ground around the first bend, settled in the middle of the pack on the inside for the run up the backstretch, continued to save ground around the far turn and improved position in the stretch. EXAGERADORA veered out leaving the gate, raced in the four path early, stalked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the far bend from the three path and finished evenly. D CITY GIRL raced off the pace on the outside around the first turn and up the backstretch, came around the far bend in the three path and passed tiring horses in the lane. EMPIRE GIRL saved ground around the first bend, dueled on the inside up the backstretch, continued to battle from the two path around the far second turn and faded from there. MORENA DANCER raced in the four path early, settled off the pace on the outside around the far turn, dropped back to trail the field from the four path coming around the far turn and showed no kick. GLADIATORA raced in the three path around the first bend, stalked the pace setter on the outside up the backstretch, swung out to the five path coming around the second turn and tired in the stretch. DIAMOND LUVUBABY was away from the gate slowly, saved ground at the back of the pack through the opening half mile, continued to save ground around the far turn and made no bid. THIRSTY DATE raced in the three path around the first turn, dueled on the outside up the backstretch, continued to battle from the three path coming around the second bend and tired in the lane.
