Chart notes

EARNED NOT GIVEN hesitated and brushed at the start to leave a bit slow, settled in the two path towards the rear, split foes at the quarter pole, tipped three wide leaving the turn, got bumped by inner rival in upper stretch, rallied to the front at the eighth pole and drove clear in deep stretch. UNRIVALED HERO traveled in the two path off the pace, moved into range on the backstretch, coaxed along the far turn from the rail, lacked room in upper stretch, gained a clear path in the final furlong and finished well to earn the place honors. MISSILE CRUISER tucked inside off the pace, rushed up behind the leaders on the backstretch, followed behind the leaders on the rail then in the two path on the second bend, bid between rivals at the top of the lane and got outkicked in the final furlong. BURNING RUBBER vied inside a pair of rivals to the first turn then took a stalking position around the bend, ridden along two then three wide on the far turn, bid four deep at the three-sixteenths pole, shifted out and bumped the winner in upper stretch, got crowded between rivals at the eighth pole, floated out at the sixteenth pole and flattened late. HEPHEPCUTDOWNNETS vied three deep then two wide around the clubhouse turn, inched ahead on the backstretch, maintained a short lead through the far turn, showed the way in the three path entering the lane, lost command in upper stretch and weakened in the final sixteenth. LOOKIN FOR CURLY broke a step slow, unhurried three wide into the first turn then tucked inside, continued to save ground around the second bend, moved off the fence in the drive and never threatened. MAX N' LOU settled inside, ran up on heels and bumped outer rival past the half-mile pole, tracked three deep between into the far turn, got floated out into the lane and weakened. MUTT DILLIN bumped inner rival leaving the gate, vied between rivals to the first turn then dueled from inside, fought along the rail through the far turn, yielded in upper stretch and gave way. LAST VINTAGE settled three deep early, moved into range outside rivals on the backstretch, got bumped past the half-mile pole, dropped back four deep on the far turn, cut to the two path late on the bend and tired.
