Chart notes

BIG DON'S SMILING showed good early speed and was prominent leaving the break, pressed the pace outside of FORDY G heading into the turn and kept close attendance to the solid pace approaching the quarter marker, battled for the lead into upper stretch, lost a bit of ground nearing mid-stretch then re-rallied inside of the furlong pole, battled with the game FORDY G into the final sixteenth, took command into deep stretch and held off the oncoming runner-up to determinedly prevail. JAIME'S COMMITMENT forwardly placed leaving the start, rated just off of the early pace and stalked into the turn, saved ground to the quarter marker then waited for racing room approaching the top of the lane, tipped three to four wide for the drive and ran in pursuit to mid-stretch, rallied into the final sixteenth, finished well into deep stretch and was up in time to secure second. FORDY G stumbled leaving the start, was hustled between runners and assumed a narrow early lead, set a pressured pace into the turn and carved out decent fractions approaching the quarter marker, shook free into upper stretch and was kept to firm urging while leading to the furlong pole, battled with BIG DON'S SMILING into the final sixteenth, could not hold off oncoming rivals in deep stretch and held for third in a good effort. EDDIE CROSSWIRE tracked the solid early pace from the second flight, went between rivals into the turn and raced in traffic at the three furlong pole, recovered and gained ground three wide at the quarter marker, encountered traffic into upper stretch and ran evenly to the furlong marker, found room into the final sixteenth, closed well into deep stretch and just missed for third at the finish. BRONZE ONE was hard to load prior to the start, tracked the solid early pace from the second flight, was steered three wide into the turn and gained ground approaching the quarter marker, raced four wide into the stretch and lost position at the furlong pole, lacked a response in the final sixteenth and flattened out in deep stretch. GEORGE HERMAN RUTH was unprepared at the start and was away slowly, spotted the field to begin and trailed into the turn, chased from the inside to the quarter marker, swung four wide for the drive and improved position at mid-stretch, was gaining while widest into deep stretch but could not impact the leaders at the finish. GALOPIN GOURMET broke alertly and vied for the early lead, rated off of the contentious pace and tracked into the turn, saved ground to the quarter marker and chased into upper stretch, ran evenly to the furlong marker and did not offer a late rally. BRANNIGAN lacked early speed, maintained an outside path into the turn, raced five wide into the stretch and did not factor.
