Chart notes

BLING IT TO ME broke sharply and went clear early, held sway through the turn, responded when set down in the stretch and maintained a clear advantage to the wire. ANAJULIAFOREVER tracked behind the pace two deep with THE NEXT BIG BLING to the inside, dueled that foe in the stretch for the second spot, put a head in front late and held to the wire. THE NEXT BIG BLING bumped after the start but otherwise got away well, ceded the lead to BLING IT TO ME and tracked that rival a length or two behind with ANAJULIAFOREVER a constant shadow to the outside, could not go with the winner in the stretch, had something left for the stretch run and finished well but lost the battle for the place. KINKY MOON broke outward at the start and made light contact with THE NEXT BIG THING, then was hustled unsuccessfully to get forward position, lost ground on the turn then came back on under strong handling but was not good enough. LEONE raced three wide down the backstretch, made a forward move on the turn but could not sustain the bid through the stretch and finished evenly. GRAY ZONE settled at the rear of the field, became boxed in through the turn, tried to swing out into the clear in the stretch but found that path blocked then finished evenly without posing a threat. FACTOR THAT tracked two wide with the second group, came under a ride on the turn but was unable to mount a threat. LOOKATCHU allowed to settle near the back, raced five wide and chased throughout.
