Chart notes

COLORADO CRUISER chased briefly from inside then steered out and went up to take control and duel with URBAN LEGEND, lost touch with that rival at the quarter pole, chased two wide into the lane, came back in the final sixteenth and won the bob on the line. URBAN LEGEND sprinted clear then dueled inside COLORADO CRUISER, kicked clear of that rival with a quarter mile left to run, remained clear into deep stretch under right handed urging but grew a bit weary late and got caught at the wire. TESSUTO came away slow to begin, moved into range outside rivals, took aim three wide leaving the bend, could not summon the needed late kick in deep stretch but managed to save the show. NEW KING chased two to three wide on the turn, kept on through the lane and missed the show. MALIBU ROCKS trailed early then chased in range from inside, lost ground while under a ride on the turn, kept on in the furlong grounds and whittle the gap late. MONGOLIAN CHAMP broke a step slow, raced widest up the backstretch and trailed into the turn, remained wide into the lane and came up empty.
