Chart notes

NELSON AVENUE tracked the pace, made a bid in the three path outside the three-eighths pole, took the lead in upper stretch, responded well in the final furlong and prevailed under steady urging. FLOKI'S FLIGHT brushed with a rival at the start then was hustled, steadied briefly while in tight along the rail at the three-quarter pole, dropped back and settled off the pace, was urged along in the two path for most of the turn then shifted to the three path, came four wide into upper stretch, pursued the winner to the finish and willingly earned the place. DIDINGER went to the front, set the pace under pressure from his inside, dropped from the two path to the rail early on the turn, was urged along passing the three-eighths pole, lost the advantage to the winner in upper stretch, remained on his inside lead under a right-handed crop into the final furlong, swapped to the proper lead inside that marker and was outfinished while clear for the show. TRIDENT HIT was urged along near the back, saved ground on the turn, angled out into upper stretch then was straightened by the rider and improved position for the last spot in the superfecta. I GOT NO MUNNY was in tight near the three-quarter pole then dropped back and moved out, settled off the pace, was urged along in the four path on the turn, turned into upper stretch in the five path and came up empty. SQUIRE CREEK pressed the pace on the inside of the leader, dropped back leaving the backstretch, chased inside on the turn and tired. SYNTHESIS brushed with a foe while last away, raced towards the rear, moved from the two path to the four path early on the far turn, spun into the stretch in the five path and was no factor then eased in the final furlong but walked off. MILTON THE MONSTER bobbled at the start then came outward, was ridden along on the outside, traveled around the turn in the three path and faltered.
