Chart notes

LASER CLAD was unruly loading, leaned outwardly at the start, showed the way in the two path, clung to an advantage from a pair of outer bidders turning for home, inched an advantage in upper stretch, dug in while meeting an inner challenge in the final furlong and held firm. CUSTOM'S CLEARED stalked behind the leaders while a path off of the inside, chased the clearing pace setter through upper stretch, progressed to bid inside of that one leaving the furlong grounds but was fended off. THE WICKED CAT bobbled and veered inwardly into open space at the start, stalked outside of the top pair and from the four path, ranged up to bid turning for home, chased in the six path in upper stretch, flopped back to his left lead at the furlong grounds, ran on while lugging inwardly entering the final sixteenth and pursued evenly. RUNNING RAGGED prompted outside of the leader and from the three path, vied as an outer rival bid turning for home, failed to keep pace with his inner counterpart and chased in teh five path in upper stretch, but yielded between horses in the final furlong before saving fourth. CUSTOM RIDE hesitated when the gates sprung and spotted the leaders multiple lengths at the start, rushed forward outside of rivals approaching the half mile pole, chased from midpack while tucking from the three to two path around the turn, then stayed on willingly along the inside to miss fourth. VINEAUX missed the break and was off slow, pursued off of the pace in the four to three path and failed to factor. BANDIDO DEAL trailed in the two path and made little impact. HE'S A REAL OUTFIT broke slowly, raced well back in the three path and never got involved. V CUT chased from midpack along the inside early on, then faded around the turn.
