Chart notes

VERACRUZIN tracked in the three path, bid outside of the leader turning for home, forged a narrow advantage in upper stretch, dueled with his inner game counterpart through the final furlong and clung to his advantage. MACAW vied four to three wide, inched closer tucking to the two path at the three furlong pole, met an outer challenge turning for home, got headed by that one in upper stretch, yet fought on doggedly thereafter but gamely missed. CHULLIGAN pursued from midpack in the two path, shfited out to the four path with three furlongs to go, advanced to gain show turning for home, then chased the embattled leading pair home to prove best of the rest. PHENOMENAL DREAM was off a beat slow and brushed with an outer rival at the start, trailed in the four path, advanced around the turn before fanning to the five path entering the lane, but leveled off and held fourth late. PENROD stumbled upon leaving the gates, raced off of the pace along the inside, moved to the three path entering the turn, encountered traffic entering the lane in the four path, altered to the six path in upper stretch and moved up. BIG VELVET prompted three wide and between horses early on, failed to sustain position and chased his counterparts with nine sixteenths to go, pursued from the three path around the turn and failed to factor. BAJAN BOY broke a step slow, lacked speed in the two path, trailed turning for home then surpassed tired rivals. MAINTAIN vied along the inside, chased outer rivals entering the turn, checked in tight rail quarters at the three furlong pole, shifted to the two path shortly after and tired. FRIO RIVER laid off of the pace in the three to two path, moved between horses turning for home, then chased along the rail and tired. KALL KARL brushed with an inner foe at the start, vied two wide and between horses, but failed to keep pace with an outer rival into the turn and weakened along the inside leaving the three furlong pole.
