Chart notes

DESERT BREEZE made the lead leaving the first turn, came into the stretch in the three path and held sway outside horses. BY DECREED , rated down the backstretch, was three wide on the far turn, moved to the two path entering the stretch and finished willingly inside the winner. WAR IS HELL , steadied entering the first turn, chased outside the winner, was fanned four wide entering the stretch and finished willingly. MIDNIGHT APPROVAL , between horses entering the far turn, was taken to the inner rail at the head of the stretch and was caught in tight quarters in the late going. ROCKNTHECLUBHOUSE bore in leaving the starting gate, raced wide on the first turn, stayed along the inner rail on the far turn and was outrun. RUSTY'S LEGACY chased the pace along the inner rail to the far turn and gave way approaching the stretch. CREE drifted very wide on the first turn, remained wide the far turn, gave way and was eased.
