Chart notes

WHITBY vied from the four path with a pair to his inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide emerging to duel with SHAKIN THE BELLE near the nine-sixteenths, tucked to the two path into the turn and widened away as a pair from the rest of the field, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch, edged clear through the final furlong to prevail. SHAKIN THE BELLE coaxed from the gate, vied from the two path early on, got bumped with five and a half furlongs to go in the hind quarters by BATTLE OF BRITAIN to the outside, emerged from that pace dispute tucking inside near the nine-sixteenths to duel with the aforementioned foe, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, got shaken off a furlong from home and ran on to be along clear for the place honors. HOURS IN A DAY coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside, had the rider briefly lose the left hand rein and reached for it and tipped out three to four wide placed coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. NO SURRENDER coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled out six wide into upper stretch, weakened. UNAFFECTED four wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled seven to eight wide at the head of the stretch, tired. BATTLE OF BRITAIN hustled from the gate, vied briefly between foes from the three path bumping the hind quarters of SHAKIN THE BELLE five and a half furlongs out, then got shaken off near the nine-sixteenths and tucked to the two path into the turn coming under coaxing at the half mile pole, spun two to three wide into upper stretch and was eased home through the final eighth. DISCREET BNB coaxed from the gate, chased four to five wide under coaxing from the half mile pole, angled in to spin just off the inside into upper stretch and was eased home to the finish.
