Chart notes

SKETCHY was closest in pursuit from the two path, pressed briefly then stalked once again up the backstretch, challenged nearing the seven-sixteenths pole, put a head in front dueling on the far turn, kicked clear in upper stretch and held well over the runner-up. LOUIS THE CHAMP stalked along the rail, got boxed in on the far turn behind the leader, angled out at the top of the lane, chased determinedly after the winner down the stretch but had to settle for second best. MALIBU ROCKS sent to the front and moved inside, showed the way up the backstretch, dueled around the far turn, yielded to the winner in upper stretch, weakened in the furlong grounds but kept on for a clear third. AMERICAN GLORY (GB) stalked the speed from the two path, raced between rivals leaving the backstretch, drew alongside the top pair three deep into the far turn, moved back to the two path around the bend and weakened down the lane and lost the crop in the final fifty yards. EXCEL CALCULATOR lagged behind early and moved inside, remained well back to the quarter pole, cut the corner into the lane and passed a tired rival. GENTLEMEN'S CLUB sat off the pace from the rail, moved out and gained quickly three then four deep on the backstretch, could not sustain the bid around the far turn, followed outside rivals into the lane and flattened out.
