Chart notes
ILLUSTRATOR was unhurried early, saved ground down the backstretch, was steadily gaining ground while four wide on the far turn, dug in gamely while contesting with inner rivals in the stretch and was up at the wire to prevail. MIND BOLT moved from the inside to set the pace down the early backstretch, was confronted by an outer foe to go duel heading into the turn, was contested by a third counterpart at the quarter pole, vied briefly before assuming command in the early stretch, was in an all out drive then was out finished by ILLUSTRATOR and was second best. KENTUCKY DAWN tracked the pace from the two path down the backstretch, inched up while three wide on the turn to challenge for the lead, vied in the upper stretch, could not overtake the leader and was out finished in the final yards and was best for third place. LOUIS THE CHAMP was allowed to settle along the rail towards the rear, then rallied bid on the far turn and kept on down the lane to no avail in the end. FIREBALL BIRDIE tracked the pace from the inside down the backstretch, was urging on the far turn to rally a bid in the late stretch and lacked the needed response. DEVIL'S MISCHIEF broke outwardly, then settled at the back of the field, bid while three wide on the far turn and never threatened. THIRD STREET led the way briefly into the first turn, then pressed the emerging leader before moving up at the half to go shoulder to shoulder into the far turn, lacked the overcoming bid and gave way in the late stretch. RUSTY failed to rally.
