Chart notes

CHAIRMAN BOB stalked between challengers near the back of the field in the first turn, continued to see most runners going down the backside, moved in comfortably passing foes by the quarter pole, circled around the pack seven wide at the top of the stretch, switched leads at the furlong marker and easily went on by in deep stretch under confident handling. KIDDIE HOLIDAY settled behind the contesting quartet on the first turn, settled in midfield three deep along the backside, advanced smartly moving in three wide three eighths remaining, bid for the lead in the five path turning for home but could not withstand the late surge by the winner in the final sixteenth. SOCIETY JOE tracked outside in the four path on the first turn, settled nicely all alone in the third flight down the back straight, keep pace with rivals making a move four wide on the far turn, swung out in the six path at the top of the lane and ran determinedly to the wire to win the battle for third. TOURIST'S DREAM travelled on the fence having one foe beaten in the early going, improved on the rail down the backside, encountered traffic and had to wait behind foes at the quarter pole, had clear running room finding a seam in the two path at the furlong marker and surged late just missing the nod for third in a photo. H C HOLIDAY pressed the pace in the two path between rivals on the first turn, chased the loose frontrunner down the backside and throughout the far turn, could not find more in the stretch and yielded by the furlong marker. MAMBOINTHEFOREST trailed the pack into the first turn, continued to see the field saving ground through the final bend and rallied mildly on the fence passing tired ones in the stretch. MAD DOG N JOE tossed his head rearing up at the start to trail, quickly was asked bursting between horses in the three path in front on the first turn, opened up on the field down the backside, continued to be the frontrunner around the final bend, was headed outside in mid-stretch and gave way late swallowed up by runners in the final seventy yards. NATIVE PRINCE had a slim on the fence into the first turn, tracked the loose leader down the backside, chased the pace running on the rail through the far turn, could not quicken with rivals at the quarter pole and wilted inside in upper stretch. BLUE MAX broke inwards to begin, was checked mildly soon after the start, stalked four wide outside foes on the first turn, trailed the field down the backstretch and could not get interested in the late stages of the race.
