Chart notes

TEJANO TWIST off a step slow, lagged well back early, swung out into the five path turning for home, challenged while remaining widest past the furlong marker, dueled to the wire and was fully extended to prevail. HAPPY IS A CHOICE stalked the dueling leaders while three wide and in hand, ranged up to challenge that pair late in the turn, gained the advantage, lugged in as the winner came calling past the furlong marker, proved stubborn in hounding that one to the wire, well clear of the other two. GULFPORT away in good order, dueled up front closest to the inside and in hand, continued to vie into the lane, was appearing to begin to tire when bothered by the lugging runner up with a furlong to run, continued to weaken in the late going. EDGE TO EDGE broke on top, dueled up front off the inside, backed up from between horses nearing midstretch.
