Chart notes

LA BANQUERA dueled three to four paths off the inside with the runner up to his inside, tucked to the two path through the turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung three wide into upper stretch, dug in dueling through to the finish and leaned on GEOPOLITICS a sixteenth from home, dug in gamely to prevail on the wire. GEOPOLITICS dueled inside of the aforementioned foe coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under a drive headed for command a furlong out, came under a left handed crop and came outwards as LA BANQUERA came in, got leaned on a stride or two a sixteenth out and fought on game but could never get on near even terms through the final eighth and was bested at the end. EMPIRE MAGIC broke in brushing the off side stall when away half a beat slow, chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn, took the inside route into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. AUNT YOLA coaxed from the gate, chased three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. NIKKI BRAINBURST fractious in the gate prior to the start, got backed out and reloaded, chased five then four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung five wide into upper stretch and tired. FOXY FRANCES chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, made no impact. DANCE ON AIR coaxed from the start, chased along the inside and then just off the inside under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and faltered. I'M KIDDING chased just off the inside coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung three wide for home, folded. There was a Stewards' Inquiry into the stretch run as well as a Jockey's Objection by the rider of GEOPOLITICS alleging interference against LA BANQUERA in deep stretch. After review, the result was allowed to stand and the objection was dismissed prior to the race being declared official.
