Chart notes

IM THE DIRECTOR took the lead leaving the chute and set a pressured pace, contested the edge nearest the rail on the turn and was steadily handled to hold off ANNAPOLIS ROAD through the lane. The latter veered out leaving the gate then engaged in close chase through the backstretch, contested at a slim disadvantage off the rail on the turn and finished evenly at the outside girth of the winner. JUBA'S HEART was bumped leaving the gate then gave chase, raced at the rail on the turn then flattened in the lane. THIS JUICE B LOOSE ducked in and made contact with Juba's Heart leaving the gate, gave chase through the backstretch, rounded the turn off the rail and showed little in the lane. SAPPHIRUS ducked in and made contact with BOLD DESERT leaving the gate then gave chase, rounded the turn in the three and four paths and showed little more. The latter was bumped leaving the gate then saved ground. FORBIDDEN SPIRIT ducked in leaving the gate then pressured the pace, dropped back approaching the five sixteenths pole and weakened at the rail on the turn.
