Chart notes

PINKY RING BLING vied for the early lead while widest up the backstretch, pressed the pace five wide to the turn, chased three wide to the quarter pole, battled four wide into the stretch, vied for the lead at the furlong marker then battled UNITED PATRIOT into the final sixteenth, shook free in deep stretch and lasted for the win at the wire. MACHO GRANDE settled off off the contentious early pace, advanced two to three wide and between runners along the turn, swung five wide into the stretch, responded to urging in the drive and loomed at mid-stretch, closed fast in the final sixteenth and just missed for the win, while getting up in time for the place. UNITED PATRIOT rated just off of the early pace, tracked from the inside to the turn, raced in tight along the bend then found room along the rail into upper stretch, vied for the lead nearing the furlong pole, battled stubbornly to the final sixteenth and was outfinished in deep stretch. COUSIN LARRY a bit slow to begin leaving the start, trailed in the early stages and saved ground to the turn, saved all of the ground to upper stretch, navigated traffic along the rail into the final furlong and was outkicked in deep stretch. BARBACOA settled off of the contested early pace while never far back, chased three wide to the turn, slipped to the inside at the quarter pole then angled out into upper stretch, bid at the furlong marker, could not find the needed late response and was outkicked in the final sixteenth. FAST TRAFFIC slow away from the start, settled outside of rivals in the early going, advanced four wide at the quarter pole, swung six wide into the lane and continued his run to mid-stretch, could not sustain his bid into the final sixteenth and flattened out late. IMA BIG BOPPER prominent away from the start, engaged with WILL THE THRILL and contested the pace inside of that rival heading to the turn, dueled through moderate fractions to the quarter pole, battled into the stretch, was overtaken into the final furlong and faded late. WILL THE THRILL assumed a narrow early lead, was engaged by IMA BIG BOPPER and disputed the pace outside of that rival entering the turn, dueled through moderate fractions to the quarter pole, lost ground into the stretch, lacked a response into the final furlong and tired late. ABSOLUTE COURAGE prominent early, vied for the lead from between runners heading to the half-mile marker, chased four wide and between foes to the turn, lost position nearing the quarter pole then faltered in the stretch drive. GET WITT GONE raced close up to the early pace while between runners, chased three wide and between foes to the turn, lost ground at the quarter marker and gave way in the stretch.
