Chart notes

KUCHAR coaxed from the gate, raced four wide through the first turn and then four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the far turn and came under coaxing at the three-eighths, continued three wide into upper stretch, rallied in tandem with OUSTER to overthrow the leader a sixteenth out and knocked heads to the finish and ultimately got the nod on the wire. OUSTER lunged at the break getting away last, raced along the rail and was forced to check when TABEGUACHE placed BARESE directly in front in tight into the first turn, chased five then four paths off the inside down the backstretch and through the far turn coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung five wide into upper stretch, rallied digging in to issue a challenge inside the final furlong showing good courage and just lost the bob on the line. TABEGUACHE established the front at the start and crossed to the two path and briefly inside forcing both BARESE and OUSTER in behind him to check into the first turn, showed the way in hand just off the inside, tucked inside half a mile from home, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, took the inside route into upper stretch and dug in under a drive under threat from a pair, got collared a sixteenth out, fought on to the finish. SIGNATOR two to three wide through the first turn, chased five wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, went six wide into upper stretch and kept on one paced through to the end. CURBSTONE three wide through the first turn, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened. UNBRIDLED BOMBER three to four wide into the first turn, tucked to the two path midway, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, went seven to eight wide for home and offered no response. CURLIN'S WISDOM coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under coaxing from the three-eighths, took the inside route into upper stretch and weakened. BARESE got forced to check into the first turn and struck the rail forcing OUSTER to check in behind when TABEGUACHE tucked briefly in front, chased two to three wide, came under brief coaxing at the five-sixteenths and cornered two to three wide into upper stretch, then tired through to the finish.
