Chart notes

MR MONEY BAGS stalked the leader while three deep heading into the backstretch, then moved up to battle with inner rivals on the far turn, kicked clear in the early stretch and was kept to task to prove best for the final time. TOO MUCH ACTION was well rated behind the pack in the early furlongs, then urged eagerly on the far turn, came out four wide and was closing willingly but could not catch the leader in the end. QUARTERBACK DAK set the pace heading into the first turn under a steady drive, then was met with outer rivals in a battle to maintain the lead on the far turn, could not retain bid and gave way in the late stretch. DUST EM stalked the pace while two wide, then vied for the lead between rivals on the far turn then flattened out in the home stretch. PICKINGUPSTRANGERS trailed throughout and failed to rally.
