Chart notes

FOOLISH AFFAIR broke outward at the start but was forwardly placed three wide down the backstretch, advanced on the leaders still wide on the turn, came five wide into the stretch, took command and pulled clear. UPTOWN JIVE tracked two to three deep a few lengths off the pace, finished up well under steady handing and intermittent urging and was along to grab the show money. FAITH AND DEVOTION hustled to the lead, ceded the lead passing the five-sixteenths marker, then came back on under strong handling and urging and was passed late for the place. BLAKE'S SONG broke into the path of NO MORO HERE after the break, then had good speed from the outside and move to press for the lead near the half-mile pole, led the field into the stretch then surrendered under urging and finished evenly. GLITZ AND GLAMOUR tracked mid-pack while saving ground on the inside and finished evenly. BRASS SPUNKY settled inside at the rear of the main pack, came under steady urging approaching ran on well up the rail in the stretch and improved while never a serious threat. NO MORO HERE got shut off after the break when the horses in adjacent stalls converged in front, settled well off the pace with the second flight, launched a three wide bid from the seven-sixteenths pole then went seven or eight wide into the stretch and was drifting out under right handed urging. NICEPROBLEMTOHAVE broke well and was close up down the backstretch, launched a bid from the three furlong marker, loomed at the top of the stretch then flattened out. MADDIE'S MAVERICK was slow into stride and trailed throughout, passed a tired one late.. DEPTHS OF DIXIE broke out into the path of NO MORO HERE, was close up through the early stages, steadied slightly heading into the turn then could not recover the momentum and was not a factor from that point.
