Chart notes

MODDASSAH travelled four wide only ahead of a couple of runners into the first bend, pulled the rider down the backstretch to advance between foes at the half, was coaxed on the rail with five sixteenths to go, quickly moved in on the fence by upper stretch, burst inside to take the lead at the eighth pole and had enough to hold safe when crossing the finish line. REDNECK REBEL was allowed to settle at the back, co-trailing on the outside, began to pass rivals three deep on the outside at the half, started to reach for more ground midway around the final turn, followed the winner on the fence at the top of the lane, shifted out under left handed encouragement four wide at the furlong pole, found his best stride late but could not get to the winner in time. LOADED JUSTICE took command inside from the start, dictated terms but was pressed outside down the backstretch, edged away from the pesky early speed foe with three furlongs remaining, was urged left-handed turning for home trying to spurt away in upper stretch, lost the lead to the winner inside at the furlong marker but did hold on just barely for the show money at the finish line. CATHOLIC JACKIE prompted the pace outside two wide in the first turn, turned up the pressure down the backstretch, could not go with the frontrunning leader with three eighths left to go, chased four wide at the top of the lane and did fight back to almost get the show award at the wire. GLORIOUS REVENGE was brushed inside at the start, rider made a savvy move, saving ground getting to the fence to track inside on the first turn, waited for the cue to go unchanged in position down the back straight, was roused at the quarter pole but could not quicken with the leaders in front and finished up mildly down the stretch. SPEEDY BULLEIT travelled five wide in the middle of the pack in the initial turn, continued in midfield four deep down the backside, offered a mild run four wide at the quarter pole, angled out six wide straightening for home but was one paced to the wire. GINGER'S HOLIDAY was brushed outside to begin, co-trailed on the inside into the first of two turns, trailed down the backstretch and in the final turn but did show some run late to pass a few weary rivals down the lane. HALCON NEGRO stalked near the rear on the rail, made little movement inside down the back straight, could not get interested around the far turn and had little to offer driving to the finish line. HURRICANE DESHAMBO settled close to the back in the two path at the start, made no improvement down the backstretch, could not close the margin on rivals through the final bend and was not a factor in the stretch running. QUESTION MARK was reined back going into the first turn to watch the front pair, under restraint became headstrong at the three quarter pole going three wide between foes, tracked in the second tier outside along the backstretch, was urged for more on the far turn but offered little response and faltered in the two path by mid-stretch.
