Chart notes

DIRECT THE SHOW gave chase, raced in the three path on the turn then dug in through the final furlong and took the nod under the wire. GREATEST NOTION was hustled to the front past the half mile pole and set a pressured pace, dueled clear toward the quarter pole, dug in under steady stretch encouragement but was nipped under the wire. SPYDYLEGS broke in the air then gave chase toward the outside, raced in the four path on the turn and finished evenly to take third the final yards. GETTIN SPICY became a bit anxious in the gate then gave chase, rounded the turn near the rail and flattened in the lane. SHINEY GHOST pressured the early pace but dropped back approaching the quarter pole and weakened. DON'T GET CAUGHTUP ran wide and was never a factor.
