Chart notes

EXALTED JOY unhurried early to be the trailer for the first five-eighths, circled six wide on the turn while steadily advancing on the leaders and closed well on the outside to wear down the pacesetters inside the sixteenth pole and pull away late. ONLY GET'N BETTER tracked the pace from between rivals down the backstretch, swept up four wide to engage the leader at the quarter pole, batlled with that one through the stretch, wore the pace-maker down to take a brief lead midway down the lane but could not hold off the closing winner late. SMASH set a well rated pace under mild pressure down the backside, responded when challenged on the final bend to duel down the lane with the runner-up and weakened in the final hundred yards in a good try. WASHINGTON'S UNION bobbled slightly a step away from the gate, settled near the back of the field through the first turn, rallied up the inside down the backstretch to be prominent on the final bend and flattened out in the stretch unable to sustain the bid. NIGHT TIME RULER pressed the pace for five-eighths and faded. OILER stalked the pace down the backside, mounted a four wide bid on the turn and flattened out turning for home.
