Chart notes

CELENTANO had a good set up, nestled on the fence all alone watching the embattled pair at the half, waited patiently on the fence through the turn, swung four wide outside horses to loom boldly at the top of the stretch and drew off convincingly in the last eighth. BACKROADSBILLY had a sluggish start to begin, made an early move inside foes at the seven sixteenths marker, shifted outwards with three eighths to go, was full of run while in hand circling foes at the quarter pole, briefly took command in upper stretch, could not sustain the run and was no match for the winner in the late stages of the race. IMPERIAL STAR brushed the outside of the gate on the break, stalked three wide outside runners down the backside having one foe beaten, angled to the inside making a rail move on the turn, swung out off the tiring early engaged leaders turning for home and ran on the be a clear but distant third at the wire. FRAC RIGHT had a slim advantage on the fence down the backside, dueled up front inside through the turn, was part of the mix clinging up top at the quarter pole and faded on the rail saving for a minor role in the end. UNCLE'S THE BANKER tracked the leaders early on, was checked mildly entering the turn, lost ground and position around the bend and finished up willingly in deep stretch. HE SHOOTS HE WINS pressed the pace outside down the backstretch, continued to battle head and head outside around the bend, stayed in the hunt in the two path between runners turning for home but wilted in the final sixteenth. INDY COWBOY was unhurried trailing the field along the backside, could not get into contention when roused throughout the turn and was a non-factor in the stretch running.
