Chart notes

BIG HUG set a well rated pace while well in hand, repelled rival's challenge on the turn, opened a clear lead turning for home when called upon, was kept to task down the lane and geared down late as a much best winner. ECHO CREEK broke ourward leaving the gate, raced three wide stalking the leaders to the far turn, steadily advance from four wide down the lane and finished willingly as second best. MAJESTIC OOPS raced wide into the first turn, angled in to be three wide down the backside while moving up to press the pace, challenged the winner on the far turn, could not go with that one in upper stretch and weakened late in the drive. PLUM BLUE tracked the leaders to the three-eighths pole and failed to respond when called upon dropping back as no threat.
