Chart notes

I'M JUST settled off the pace, moved in outside the nine-sixteenths then advanced closer, saved ground on the turn, cut the corner into the stretch, rallied to get the lead inside the furlong marker and drew away while drifting out some under steady urging. JANSSEN bumped with a foe at the start, tracked the pace on the outside, made a bid with a half-mile to run, took a short lead in the four path on the turn, moved clear outside the quarter-pole, drifted out in upper stretch, lost the advantage to the winner outside the sixteenth-pole and proved no match while clear for the place. ARCO AUGUSTA bumped with a rival at the start, was well placed just off the pace, steadied near the five-eighths pole then dropped back, raced between horses while two then three wide on the turn, dropped back some late on that bend, came four wide into the stretch then was roused while splitting opponents around the three-sixteenths, remained on his inside lead in the drive and lacked the needed kick while along for the show. WATCH HILL was hustled from the gate then urged along off the pace, moved up quickly with five furlongs to run, chased while moving from the rail to the four path later on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and tired. SOLO TONIGHT broke in then bumped with an opponent, was coaxed along on the outside, went five wide on the turn, came six wide into the stretch and lacked the needed response. TRIPLE WORD SCORE bumped with a foe at the start, drifted out early on the backstretch, lagged at the rear, moved from the four path to the two path on the turn and was no factor. IRIE MAN bumped with foes on both sides at the start then was taken up briefly, settled off the pace, went three then four wide for most on the turn, moved to the five path late on that bend, had the rider lose his crop near the three-sixteenths and failed to respond. FRANKIE R. tossed his head some when the rider fell back in the saddle at the start, moved up under urging to set the pace, lost the advantage in the two path on the turn, dropped back into the stretch then had the rider lose is crop and stopped then was eased in the final furlong but walked off. SPOKEN BLUNTLY prompted the pace on the outside, was urged along between foes in the three path on the turn and retreated. MORTGAGE RATE was taken in hand early, angled in outside the five-eighths pole, went three then four wide on the turn and faltered then was also eased in the final furlong but walked off.
