Chart notes

UNION WAVE broke alertly and was prominent away from the start, ceded the early lead and saved ground into the first turn, tracked the decent pace from an inside position approaching the half-mile pole, was well placed into the second turn then came in tight and was boxed in at the quarter marker, found room into upper stretch and loomed at the furlong grounds, overtook UNION EXPRESS into the final sixteenth, was kept to task under steady urging into deep stretch and held over the oncoming runner-up. J D'S RUDE BOY unhurried away from the start, saved ground into the first turn and was allowed to settle while not far back heading into the backstretch run, was well placed at the half-mile marker, raced three to four wide into the second turn and continued his advance nearing the quarter pole, swung five wide for the drive and ran evenly to mid-stretch, closed well while widest into the final sixteenth, surged in deep stretch and just missed for the win at the finish, while holding clearly for the place honors. UNION EXPRESS asked to show speed leaving the start, cleared the field into the first turn and assumed command of the early running, set the pace while off of the rail into the backstretch run, carved out decent fractions to the half-mile marker, came under pressure into the far turn and shook free into the stretch, kept foes at bay to the furlong marker, was confronted past mid-stretch by UNION WAVE and lost the lead to that rival into the final sixteenth, yielded to the top pair in deep stretch and held safely in the end for third. CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN a step slow leaving the start, tracked the early pace from a three wide path into the first turn, was well placed into the backstretch run and stalked the decent pace to the half-mile marker, loomed three to four wide into the far turn, was outkicked into the stretch, chased into the final sixteenth and finished evenly. ROBIE was forwardly placed leaving the start and stalked the early pace three wide into the first turn, prompted the decent pace to the half-mile marker, advanced into the far turn and pressed the pace two to three wide nearing the quarter pole, vied between rivals into the stretch, was outkicked at the furlong marker and faded in the final sixteenth. MOBOU took back off of the early pace, was floated out a path entering the first turn and raced three to four wide into the backstretch run, maintained that outside position into the backstretch run and was widest while not far back approaching the half-mile pole, chased four to five wide into the far turn, was outrun into the stretch and came up empty in the late stages.
