Chart notes

ALL THE HARDWAYS , four then three wide prompting the dueling leaders, edged up leaving the far turn and bid between foes, poked a head in front while still in hand mid turn, was roused clear from an outer LIL SEBASTIAN in upper stretch, drifted out from left handed asking in mid stretch, was corrected with right handed encouragement then dug in to prevail. LIL SEBASTIAN rated five wide outside rivals early on, bid four deep exiting the far turn, forced the issue outside the winner nearing the stretch, stayed on to pursue on his left lead as ALL THE HARDWAYS cleared off, switched over to his correct lead then altered in leaving the furlong grounds, kept on gamely and steadily bridged the gap. SET FOR LIFE saved ground early, edged up and tracked behind the embattled quartet mid turn, shifted out five wide into the stretch, chased but came up empty through the final furlong. NOTMYFIRSTRODEO had to steady when attempting to duck in towards the gap leaving the chute, corrected and disputed the pace inside of LIGHTNING BOSS, stayed on as others joined the fray leaving the half, held well with chase in upper stretch then faded in the final furlong. LIGHTNING BOSS broke a bit slow then rushed up to gain a narrow advantage leaving the chute, vied two wide outside a rival through the opening half, was under strong asking to stay on between horses mid turn, failed to go on leaving the three sixteenths and tired. DATS MR. TAP ducked out at the break, corrected and raced three to four wide between foes early, failed to go on leaving the far turn and faltered. An objection by the rider of LIL SEBASTIAN against the winner alleging interference near mid stretch was not allowed
