Chart notes

DANGEROUS GAME hustled away from the start, was prominent in the early going and stalked the pace into the first turn, attended to the moderate pace through the backstretch run, was roused into the second turn and took command at the quarter pole, raced in hand into the stretch and drew clear nearing the furlong marker, was kept to task under steady handling into the final sixteenth, was a bit green into deep stretch but maintained a clear lead to the finish and held sway. UPDRAFT allowed to settle in the early going while not far back, tracked the moderate pace into the backstretch run and was well placed while between rivals nearing the half-mile marker, went two to three wide into the far turn and loomed at the quarter pole, chased DANGEROUS GAME into the stretch and was outkicked at the furlong marker, was no match for the winner into the final sixteenth and stayed on in deep stretch to secure place honors. BEAU BRUME broke in a bit at the start but was away in good order and assumed early command, cleared the field into the first turn and set moderate fractions into the backstretch run, led to the half-mile marker, came under pressure into the far turn and was overtaken by DANGEROUS GAME nearing the quarter pole, chased the winner into the stretch, yielded in the final sixteenth and was outfinished for second, while holding in the end for third. MISCHIEF'S THIRSTY was forwardly placed in the early stages, saved ground into the first turn and tracked the modest pace into the backstretch run, well placed nearing the half-mile pole, saved ground into the far turn and lost position at the quarter marker, raced a bit in tight at mid-stretch, found room into the final sixteenth but could not muster a late response. LIBERTY WOLF settled off of the modest early pace, was a bit green and hard to place while racing behind rivals into the first turn, was taken to the outside entering the backstretch run, mounted a two to three wide bid into the far turn, shifted four wide for the drive and lost ground at mid-stretch, could not find more into the final sixteenth and weakened in the late stages. NICE BOOTS off a step slowly leaving the start, was hustled and rushed up to track the early pace from the outside along the first turn, raced close up to the moderate pace through the backstretch run, well placed at the half-mile marker, chased three to four wide into the far turn and lost ground at the quarter pole, could not keep pace into the stretch and tired in the drive. WHATAFOOLBELIEVES hesitated at the start, was away a bit awkwardly and spotted the field to begin, raced greenly while trailing in the early stages, was put to a drive at the half-mile marker, lost contact into the far turn and did not factor. This race was originally hand timed and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time. Total Attendance: 3852 Handle: $654,035
