Chart notes

CONTINENTAL UNION broke well then settled on the rail in hand behind the pace, was pushed to get closer after passing the half-mile pole then had to idle while boxed in through the turn, dove to an open lane the rail as the field turned for home, finished strongly under intermittent urging and won the photo in a three horse blanket finish. WARRENS CANDY MAN broke sharply and settled into a three wide tracking position, responded to strong handling while making a sweeping move on the turn, continued to run on willingly under steady handling down the stretch and just missed in a driving finish. AWESOME DUDE was a little slow into stride but shifted to the outside then made steady forward progress down the backstretch, launched a three wide bid through the turn from the three furlong pole, continued to gain steadily down the middle of the track and just missed in a blanket finish at the wire. OH GREAT (IRE) was bothered then bumped a couple of times by LOLO PANIOLO after the break, then steadied slightly when put in tight during the run down the backstretch, dropped back to mid-pack, became boxed in through the turn, angled out into the clear approaching the eighth pole and surged when clear but was along too late. SCHOCHOH broke well and bid for the lead from the start, was joined to the outside by HIGH PRESS, dueled that one through the turn and into the stretch, got the better of the rival near the furlong grounds but tired late from earlier efforts and was unable to hold off a host of closers in the final stages. HIGH PRESS bobbled at the start, then rushed up to join SCHOCHOH on the lead, dueled to the outside of that rival through the turn, took a short lead past the three furlong marker, battled the resurgent foe to mid-stretch then weakened in the final furlong. LOLO PANIOLO broke outward at the start, bothering OH GREAT (IRE) then bumped with that rival twice in the early running while becoming a bit rank, dropped back to be well behind the rest, chased through the turn and into the stretch and was never a threat.
