Chart notes

FAST SOLUTION bumped an inner rival leaving the gate, set the pace from an outer vying rival, came under urging while dueling turning for home, got headed entering the lane, yet fought on through midstretch, battled back to reclaim a slim advantage in the closing stages as a wider bidder challenged and narrowly prevailed. SKELLY ROAD vied for the lead two wide, forged a narrow advantage entering the lane, maintained that margin from his inner game counterpart through midstretch, but got outfinished by that one and just saved show at the wire. ZAPHOD was jostled between horses at the start, laid off of the pace in the four to five path, rallied with a late kick in the final furlong, ranged up to bid in the final sixteenth but missed in the photo for win and place. AHUMADO broke outwardly, chased the top pair from the four to three path into the turn, then pursued while hanging on his left lead and lacked a bid. MORAL DILEMMA bumped an outer rival at the start, lacked speed along the inside and got outrun.
