Chart notes

DARK MYSTERY tracked the decent early pace from the second flight, was well positioned along the backstretch run and was steered two then three wide to the quarter marker, ran evenly to the furlong pole, rallied inside of the sixteenth marker, wore down foes in deep stretch and got up in time to prevail at the finish. WORKDAY sent to establish the early lead, set decent fractions while well handled through the backstretch run, came under pressure nearing the quarter marker, repelled RANCHO RED into the stretch and shook free nearing the furlong marker, the rider lost his crop nearing the sixteenth-pole, was all out to hold off oncoming rivals into deep stretch and was tagged on the wire for the win, while just holding for second. WINTER SOLDIER unhurried leaving the break, settled into the backstretch run and was content to trail to the half-mile marker while not far back, saved ground into the far turn, tipped two wide and was asked for run nearing the furlong marker, finished well into the final sixteenth, vied between runners in deep stretch and missed for the win and place, while well clear for the show. RANCHO RED forwardly placed in the early running, stalked the decent pace through the backstretch run, challenged WORKDAY at the quarter marker, was repelled in that effort and lost ground into the stretch, could not keep pace into the final sixteenth and gave way. PORT O' CALL tracked the decent pace from the outside, raced widest through the backstretch run and was coaxed along three then four wide along the far turn, was outrun into the stretch and weakened.
