Chart notes

G. ERIK bothered at the start to be away slowly, moved up while out in the strip up the backstretch, checked up in tight quarters entering the turn, quickly recover to advance four wide and put a head in front by late in the turn, came three wide for the drive, clear past the furlong marker and then held the runner up safe late under steady handling to prove clearly best. REAL BLUES forwardly placed off the inside, raced under a firm hold in tight quarters into and through the far turn, forwardly placed three wide behind the winner entering the stretch, chased that one home while holding sway late for the second spot. MIRACLE ON CENTRAL within striking distance the opening quarter while covered up along the inside, shuffled back on the rail early turn, moved off the inside for the drive, steadily closing the gap on the top two late in finishing up willingly. FINE TUNED broke well, raced with the pace three wide and between horses, continued to vie into the lane inside the winner, gradually weakened to lose a couple of positions through the stretch. Z BOSS lacked early foot off the inside, four to five wide turning for home, dove to the inside when straightened for home and improved position.'. E MONEY away in good order, moved up to take command and show the way up the backstretch and into the turn in the two path, faltered late in the bend. MAX MISCHIEF floated out five wide toward the front by the winner entering the turn, four wide into the stretch, lacked a closing kick in an even effort. SILVER FALCON with the early pace while along the inside, began a steady fade before a half while saving ground. ALWAYS FIRST broke back and was never threatened while four wide through the turn. WORK BOOTS broke a step slow and never menaced. MALACHI stumbled and then broke out to be away slowly, remained always back. VSOP bothered at the start, fell far back, eventually lost contact with the field, jogged in.
