Chart notes

IMALUCKYCHARM led the field into the first turn, then maintained the pace throughout, drifted out in late stretch and was victorious in the end winning wire to wire. NO MAS TEQUILA tracked the pace setter from the outside, was in a long drive leaving the far turn, dug in mid stretch but could not catch the leader in the end. OPTIMISTIC COWGIRL was in tight, then steadied heading into the first turn, saved ground behind the group down the backstretch, then was gaining ground heading into the home stretch and was able to get up for the show prize at the wire. SKY ROCKER tracked the pace while three deep down the backstretch, then rallied leaving the far bend and was out bid for the show prize in the end. TAHITIAN BREEZE chased the pace from the inside at an even pace throughout and needed rally in the end.
