Chart notes

SAVE US MELANIA broke out and brushed the gate but came out towards the front, pressed the pace on the outside, dropped from the four path to the three path early on the turn, took the lead outside the three-eighths pole, moved clear at the five-sixteenths pole, drew off under a strong hand-ride into the final sixteenth then was eased up late while much the best. COQUITO was last away then dropped well back under urging, went around the turn in the three to four path, turned into the stretch in the seven path and improved to safely secure the place. THEDREAMCONTINUES settled on the outside, was roused in the five path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive in the six path and lacked the needed response while best of the rest. YINGLE BELLS came out after the start and bumped with a foe, was well placed just off the pace, moved from the rail to the two path early on the turn then chased the leader, turned into the stretch in the four path, remained on her inside lead until inside the furlong marker then swapped to the proper lead, had the rider lose his crop at that point and weakened. THAT'STHEFACTJACK bobbled at the start then was bumped early, dropped well back under urging, moved from the rail to the two path late on the turn, spun three wide into the stretch then angled out and was no factor. DREAMING OF CARLI was urged along off the pace, moved out near the nine-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the three then four path, was driven into the stretch in the five path and failed to threaten. BAM BAM was hard ridden off the pace, dropped from the two path to the rail early on the turn, spun into the stretch in the two path while under the crop and failed to respond. NEGRA GATA was hustled to the front, set the pace under pressure to her outside, was headed while dropping from the two path to the rail early on the turn, lost touch with the winner late on that bend and stopped.
