Chart notes

MO MOVES stalked the pace from the inside and while being well rated, then dug in gamely leaving the far turn to gain command at the top of the stretch and held on well to the end. HARD TO COME BY stalked the pace while two wide and in a steady hand drive throughout, then menaced leaving the far bend while three wide and was closing in on the leader in the final yards and was second best in the end. NORTHWIND emerged leaving the first turn to duel with an outer rival before gaining command at the half, was in a steady drive throughout the far turn, then was challenged by rivals on both sides and was out finished in the late stretch and was best for third place. TOP COP saved ground well behind the field in the early furlongs, then rallied leaving the far turn and into the home stretch but it was too little too late in the end. SEND OFF was allowed to settle towards the back along the inside, then came out five wide leaving the far turn, was bumped by an inner rival and kept on in the late stretch while in a mild drive. MAN IN THE MIDDLE emerged to duel briefly with an inner rival into the early backstretch, continued to press the established leader on the far turn, then drifted out bumping rival in the early stretch and gave way in the end. D W STRONG stalked the pace while three wide in the early furlongs, then settled back along the inside down the backstretch and lacked rallying in the remaining furlongs. KITTER KAT was no factor.
