Chart notes

CLEAR AS A BELE broke a beat slow, pursued from midpack two wide and between horses, was held up in the two path behind rivals turning for home, shifted inwardly into the lane, gradually progressed to bid inside of the leader leaving the sixteenth pole and edged past late. SONO set the pace near the inside, drew clear entering the lane, held sway from an outer pursuer before meeting an inner challenge at the sixteenth pole, and got bested by that one late. STRONG PROMISE stalked along the inside, took aim on the clear leader from the two to three path in upper stretch, got outkicked by an inner foe at the sixteenth pole and was denied place. F T W SLAM pursued in the path while held up behind and among foes around the bend, then ran on willingly. TAMBOURINE STAR pursued from the five path, got floated out to the seven path by an inner rival entering the lane then stayed on. BLACK SWORD pursued along the inside, dropped back into the turn, then saved ground before moving up in midstretch. ASTROLOGYSPROTEGE pressed outside of the leader, chased from the three path around the turn, then faded in the three to four path in upper stretch. SPEIGHTFUL ONE broke through the starting gate pre-race, tracked in the three path and between horses, shifted out to the six path into the lane and lacked a rally between rivals while hanging on his left lead. LIKE THIS chased forwardly in the four to five path into the lane and faded. SONOFASHIP lacked speed in the four path, shfited out and failed to factor. JOSAN lagged behind and got outrun.
