Chart notes

LIFE IS PRECIOUS steadied when in a bit close at the break, regrouped and hustled up into the turn to be in range of a contested pace, angled out and circled rivals six wide into the stretch, lugged in when moving up to engage the leader in mid stretch, corrected with left handed asks, took command near the sixteenth pole and held firm. PRIVATE DESIRE , brushed at the break, regrouped then edged while saving ground into the turn, awaited room behind embattled leaders from the three eighths to about the quarter pole, found room along the rail in upper stretch, advanced inside foes past mid stretch and kept on gamely. SAN COSTANTINO showed some speed then steadied off the leaders in the opening furlong, recovered to rate close while off the rail, traveled between foes past the five sixteenths then shifted out to be about four wide in upper stretch, steadied lacking room in mid stretch, recovered and angled out leaving the sixteenth pole, straightened and finished strong. CROCODILEHUNTER , three deep vying for command, held a slim lead leaving the three eighths, clung to the advantage in mid stretch, stayed on between foes soon after then faded late. WHISKEY PARK broke a step slow, was hustled up to the inside of foes and poked a head in front after about a furlong, stayed on to dispute the pace inside horses around the turn, came off the rail into the stretch and weakened in the final sixteenth. CRUISING DEREK , five wide, ranged up nearing the lane and faded. MACHISMO got into a battle between rivals in the opening furlong, carried that fight to the quarter pole then succumbed through the final three sixteenths. POMPOUS PRINCE chased between horses, was in a bit tight near the quarter pole and weakened. Following an objection by the rider of SAN COSTANTINO, LIFE IN PRECIOUS was disqualified from first and placed third for causing interference in mid stretch.
