Chart notes

D' YANK rated from inside, began to angle out to make his bid on the turn, came six wide into the lane, took the advantage inside the final sixteenth and began to draw off. SNOOZER hustled from the gate, was soon steadied behind traffic, taken to the outside, advanced four wide through the turn, rallied belatedly deep stretch but caught SWISS GUARD for second. SWISS GUARD well placed inside from the early going, gained a narrow and brief lead nearing the sixteenth pole but lacked the extra needed in the waning yards. READTHETRANSCRIPT in the second flight from outside, improved position two wide on the bend, fanned out some for the stretch run and slowly yielded. TAPIT SAM chased while toward the outside, was just off the inside taking the turn, showed a willingness to run late, was caught in tight quarters three wide inside the last sixteenth and brushed with JACK VAN BERG seventy yards out. BERNIE LOMAX prominent just off the inside on the backstretch, failed to keep up three wide on the bend, swung out five wide for the stretch run and only made up minor ground late. JACK VAN BERG broke on top, moved clear of the others midway on the backstretch, began to flatten out between horses the final eighth, was drifting out inside the last sixteenth and brushed with TAPIT SAM. SLAM DUNK SERMON chased from between horses, quit on the bend, was eased through the stretch and walked off.
