Chart notes

INFLATION NATION (IRE) broke in at the start bumping KICK A BUCK in tandem with I LOVE CARA, pulled on the bit early and directly to the front, got throttled down through the first turn easing off command to settle tracking along the inside from the pocket, came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole and angled three wide into upper stretch roused for the drive, rallied to collar the leader a sixteenth out, battled head to head gamely to the finish to prevail. TIME SONG raced just off the inside through the first turn, chased four then three wide and was set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, took over command at the three-sixteenths, dug in under threat to the outside and was headed a sixteenth out, fought on to the wire. KICK A BUCK bumped between foes at the start, chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch and offered up late foot closing with a rush to latch on the top pair as they hit the finish line. ST. JOE LOUIS (GB) stumbled at the start, raced just off the inside through the first turn, chased four then three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and stayed on one paced to the finish. NANO MAN chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, continued two to three wide into upper stretch and offered no response. SCAT TU TAP chased along the inside patiently handled until roused taking the inside route into upper stretch and made no headway. UNION EXPRESS raced forwardly placed just off the inside through the first turn advancing to take over command into the backstretch, showed the way three then two wide before tucking inside into the far turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole under challenge to the outside, took the inside route into upper stretch, yielded the front with three-sixteenths to go and weakened. I LOVE CARA broke out at the start bumping ST. JOE LOUIS, came under coaxing and chased just off the inside through the first turn before tipping to the five path down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the far turn and came under urging at the three-eighths, swung three to four wide into upper stretch and trailed. Please note that due to a timing issue the quarter mile fraction was omitted pending review.
