Chart notes

LIGHT THE TORCH sprinted out for the lead, took the rail, set the pace, maintained her advantage, and got the win. GOSHAKI GOSHAKI stalked the early speed from the four path, launched a bid at the quarter pole, closed well gaining on the leader but fell short by a stride or two finishing with a game second. BALALA stalked the speed from the rail, saved ground, closed well, briefly switched paths in deep stretch to meet another rival who was closing fast and just missed. BELLA MENDY raced mid pack in the three path, raced in between rivals, maintained that position through out but had no late kick. CAJUN PRIME raced in the middle of the field on the rail, shuffled back a bit, launched a bid at the three eighths pole, saved ground, had the inside advantage entering the upper stretch, had a clear shot up the rail, battled down the stretch with an outside foe, gained ground on the early leaders but did not have enough to get there. CHINA BLUE broke sharp, then settled in the middle of the pack off of the speed, raced six wide down the back stretch, shifted out into the eight path in the upper stretch, finished even. STAR GAME raced from off of the pace, was five and six wide, launched a bid at the three eighths pole, gained ground through the turn, then had none left for the stretch. SATURN'S GHOST vied for the lead in the early stages, settled into a stalking position, raced three wide, then faded. DADDY'S QUEEN raced off of the pace in the four path, was in between rivals, advanced, shifted in to the two path, made a late run but had too much to do. MY EMMY AWARD was off a step slow, raced in the three path, then shifted into the five path, but showed little. SURPRISE COCO was off a step slow,, trailed, briefly ran along the rail inside of horses then stopped. THERE WAS A STEWARTS OBJECTION AND A RIDER CLAIM OF FOUL, THE RIDER OF SATUM'S GHOST LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST BALALA FOR INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH. AFTER A STEWARTS REVIEW THEREWAS NO ACTION TAKEN.
