Chart notes

RED FLAG back off the pace well out in the strip, advanced into a forward position four wide exiting the turn, challenged on the outside past the furlong marker to put a head in front, dueled to the wire outside the runner up and bested that one under firm handling. INVULNERABLE also lacked speed, followed the winner toward the front late in the turn, challenged inside of him and between horses with a furlong to run, outdueled to the wire. TWO EAGLES RIVER back off the pace out in the strip, was four wide as well through the turn, belated rally to garner the show, not a serious threat to the top two. NINJA WARRIOR within striking distance in the second group up the backstretch, idled in traffic late in the turn, angled in a bit and displayed some modest interest to improve, not enough for the show. CARBONE away in good order, vied up front three wide up the backstretch and through the turn, held a narrow advantage between calls in upper stretch, could not last. EXCITABLE BOY behind the lead pack in some traffic along the inside late in the turn, came up empty when clear for the drive. W W SCOUT'S HONOR broke sharp, narrowly set the pace for a half along the inside, yielded through the stretch. CHIRINGO broke back, traffic late backstretch toward the rail, two path turn, covered up in traffic again with a quarter to run, lacked a response when free in the drive. AMERICAN OUTLAW remained back while racing off the inside. LOOMS BOLDLY vied up front while between horses, first to blink midway on the turn. MAJOR BLUE stumbled badly at the start, trailed throughout.
