Chart notes

FLOWER CAT dueled for the lead with an outer rival, inched free at the furlong grounds before meeting a wider challenge entering the final sixteenth, and held firm. SAILOR CHOW stalked in the two to three path, took aim in the four path entering the lane, offered a grinding charge to bid at the sixteenth pole but was kept at bay. MISCHIEF'S MACHINE settled off of the pace in the two path, shifted out to the five path in upper stretch, ran on while delaying changing leads until the sixteenth pole and edged show late. MARK THE MOOSE tracked along the inside, then only managed to chase through the lane. SCOOTERANDDABIGMAN dueled for the lead outside of the eventual winner, entered the lane in the three path, began to yield while hanging on his left lead as an outer rival menaced in upper stretch, changed over at the furlong grounds but weakened shortly after. SHUT UP MAN laid off of the pace in the three path and made little impact. WAR RON was last away, trailed in the two to three path and got outrun.
