Chart notes

AIRO DINERO broke well but was unhurried early, bided time near the back of the pack while keeping to the inside, was patiently ridden down the backstretch and through the turn while at times boxed in, was full of run in the stretch, split horses at the furlong pole then went clear in the late stages. WAVER raced just inside of MAYBE SO through the first turn, let that rival slip away on the far turn, then re-rallied in the stretch, proved no match for the winner but was a clear second. VERY UNLIKELY raced at the front of the third flight of horses through the early stages, bid inside through the far turn, then swung four wide into the stretch and finished with mild late interest and gained third very late. MAYBE SO made the lead going into the first turn while racing in hand, widened the lead down the backstretch, led to the stretch, then gave way under pressure at the top of the stretch and finished evenly. SILIVAS between horses among the trio of horses at the back, launched a mild bid on the far turn then had trouble keeping a straight course in the stretch and was unable to threaten. HOLIDAY CRUISE raced mid-pack inside well behind the two leaders, launched a bid with about three furlongs to run but quickly stalled out and was shortening strides in the stretch. JULIA ANN went three wide into the first turn while near the rear of the field, was unable to keep up with the pace on the last turn and trailed the field to the wire.
