Chart notes

MR BIG BUCKS chased off the inside, drew closer nearing the turn, bid three then two wide around the bend, dueled outside MYSTIC SPIRIT through the stretch and dug in to win a narrow photo. MYSTIC SPIRIT dueled from inside then inched ahead to set a pressured pace, cleared outer rival early on the turn but was soon challenged by MR BIG BUCKS at the three-eighths pole, carried a short lead over that rival into the stretch, battled down the lane and finished gamely in defeat. LAST CALL PAUL hustled early chasing off the rail, driven two to three wide into the lane, moved out further into the final furlong looming outside the top pair but could not find the needed late kick. R AWESOME KID toss his head and came away slow, climbed early at the back, advanced on the inside around the bend but could not summon the needed rally in the lane. T ONE D FLOUR FREE crowded between rivals early and climbed before getting put in tight again between rivals in a rough early going, chased three wide into the turn, moved out to the four path around the bend, entered the stretch three wide and failed to menace. TWILIGHT MOON raced in range along the rail into the turn, angled three wide before coming back to the two path exiting the bend and weakened down the lane. I WILL BE KING dueled from outside then pressed up the backstretch, dropped back two then three wide around the bend, trailed four wide into the lane, eased to the wire and walked off.
