Chart notes

BATTLE CRUISER tracked five wide into the first turn then angled to the inside, drew closer up the backstretch, took aim three wide leaving the far turn, challenged at the quarter pole, dueled into the final furlong and drew clear from MISCHIEF MOMENTS in deep stretch. MISCHIEF MOMENTS showed early speed three deep between rivals then got put in a bit tight around the bend and took a stalking position, challenged from outside at the three-eighths pole, led three wide into the lane, put away inner rival but had to contend with BATTLE CRUISER to the outside, dueled into the furlong grounds, yielded to the winner in the last sixteenth and held second. BIG GAIN raced up close on the inside, hugged the rail through the far turn, steered out in the lane, chased within striking distance through the stretch run, finished willingly but could not get by MISCHIEF MOMENTS for the place honors. ARROMAX coaxed from the gate, angled from the six path to the three path around the first turn, chased four to five wide on the second bend and finished evenly late. ROYAL CURLIN traveled seven, six then five wide around the clubhouse turn, ridden along up the backstretch, raced along the rail into the far turn, eased out to the three path on the far turn and improved position. SCORPION SHOT chased four, three, then two wide on the first turn, rounded the second bend three then tow wide, came out in the lane and never responded to urging. CAUGHT IN THE DARK led four deep into the first turn, cleared and moved into the three path, showed the way to the far turn, took pressure while in the two path on the second bend, relinquished the lead and weakened down the lane. MARDY'S FISH showed speed between rivals, took a stalking position two wide then along the rail, raced inside rivals on the backstretch, dropped back on the far turn and had little left for the stretch run. SUNSET STORM broke out and bothered BEAUS BUDDY, chased eight wide into the first turn, angled into the four path, remained wide to the stretch and tired. BEAUS BUDDY broke a step slow and got forced out at the start, tucked inside at the back and lagged behind, eased off the rail on the second bend and was always outrun.
