Chart notes
HAPPY IS A CHOICE outrun in the early going, steered out and challenged five wide turning for home, vied past the furlong marker while still widest of the first flight, edging away late under steady handling. EASY ACTION with the early pace, fell back off the leader late backstretch, chased that one into the turn, moved up along side then took over by late in the bend, vied past the furlong marker between rivals, gave ground grudgingly to the winner. SQUIRE CREEK forwardly placed early inside, moved out a bit and challenged between horses exiting the turn, vied past the furlong marker inside the top two, could not match those two to the wire, lasted for the show. LIFE IS HARD void of early foot, four wide through the turn, lodged a belated rally to improve position. TOP GUNNER in mid pack toward the inside early, behind traffic off the inside late in the turn, angled in a bit for the drive, lacked a response. ECHO AGAIN within striking distance, angled out four wide turning into the stretch, also came up empty. FRAT PACK went one paced while three wide in lacking a bid. SWIFT AS I AM broke back and failed to menace. GOLDEN HORNET sprinted clear the opening furlong, set the pace for almost four furlongs then gave way when headed by the runner up late in the turn. VULCAN in mid pack early, shuffled back in some traffic before a quarter then gave way in the turn to trail home.
