Chart notes

GAME WARDEN broke a step slow at the start, pursued from midpack two wide, shifted four wide at the nine sixteenths pole, progressed along with an outer rival to bid at the half mile pole, but bumped an inner rival and got outmoved by his outer counterpart at the station, sustained pursuit from the three path around the far turn, shfited outside of the leaders and to the five path in upper stretch, launched a grinding rally and drove past the leaders at the sixteenth pole. ROUTE RUNNER stalked two wide, bumped an outer rival while getting outmoved by a wider bidder at the half mile pole, stalked the new leader from the two to three path around the far turn, ranged up to bid entering upper stretch, vied as an outer rival joined the fray in midstretch, but got outkicked by that one at the sixteenth pole and secured place. GAME KEEPER laid off of the pace in the four path, floated to the five path at the nine sixteenths pole, progressed in the aftermath to offer an early bid for the lead at the half mile pole, gained an advantage before tucking to the two path around the far turn, met an outer challenge in upper stretch, dug in and battled through midstretch, but was bested by a wider bidder at the sixteenth pole and yielded place. RUNNINGFORJOY broke outwardly, raced at the rear in the two to three path around the first turn, shifted out and gained in the five to four path into the far turn, sustained progress to take aim on the leaders in upper stretch, but flattened out while getting outkicked by an outer rival in midstretch and chased through the final furlong. HAWKS CREEK laid off of the pace along the inside, then in the three path around the far turn and moved up without menacing. B SUDD showed the way along the inside early on, but was headed by an early bidder leaving the half mile pole, stalked the new leader around the far turn, but chased entering the lane and faded. WESLAN broke a beat slow, tracked along the inside, pursued from further back in the two path around the far turn and made little impact. BALANTYNE tracked three deep, but was bumped between rivals and pinched back from crowded quarters at the half mile pole and faltered.
