Chart notes

GOING THE DISTANCE sprinted to the front, drove clear, led throughout, pulled away and proved much the best. HOPESHECANRUN pressed the pace, forwardly placed throughout and followed the winner to the wire. SNOW FLURRY raced in the middle of the field, made a mild bid and finished evenly behind the top two. SABERFIGHT raced near the middle of the field, made a mild inside bid, but was no factor. REAL DEAL RYAN lacked early speed, moved up, but was no threat. CUSTOMERUNHAPPY raced within contention, faded and finished evenly. BITSY PERFECTMATCH lacked early speed and was never a threat. ANSLIE'S GUMDROP always raced near the back and was never a threat. TIME TO CLOSE void of early speed and was outrun.
