Chart notes

JUST STEP ON IT went to the front, showed the way under pressure to his outside, moved clear with five furlongs to run, controlled the action while inside to the two path on the turn, responded well to the challenge of QUIET WISDOM in upper stretch, shook off that foe before the furlong marker and held under strong urging. LIBERTY CENTRAL was well placed just off the pace, chased inside on the turn, moved out in pursuit of the winner in the stretch and finished willingly to just get the place. QUIET WISDOM settled off the pace, shifted from three to five wide on the turn, gained near the five-sixteenths, chased outside into the final furlong and was outfinished then just missed the place while clear for the show. BERNING BEAUTY dropped well behind while ridden along, went around the turn in the three path, drifted out outside the furlong marker and improved position with late energy. AVA'S UNCLE BILLY was well placed just off the pace, chased in the two path while between foes on the turn and weakened. HOYA tracked the pace, chased four wide on the turn and came up empty. HAIR ON FIRE was sent hard from the gate, pressed the pace on the outside, dropped back near the five-eighths pole then chased the leader, went three wide on the turn, floated seven wide into the stretch and had nothing left. SEBA M was urged along off the pace, went three wide on the turn, came five wide into the stretch and lacked the needed response. DILLON broke out at the start, settled on the outside, was urged five wide on the turn, came six wide into the stretch, moved in outside the furlong marker and capitulated. NEPTUNE BEACH was urged along off the pace, saved ground on the turn and failed to respond. SAHANATIEN was backed into the gate from the front, refused to break when the doors opened and remained in the gate then was walked off. FOLLOWING A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INTO THE START, NO CHANGE WAS MADE
