Chart notes

MISCHIEVOUS HAN unhurried from the far outside, traveled in the three path into the first turn, drew closer from outside up the backstretch, came with a four deep move on the far turn to take over at the quarter pole, emerged clear approaching the stretch, was ridden out into the final sixteenth and won going away. AUTHENTIC HONOUR stalked the pace early while moving to the fence, took over early on the backstretch, vied inside rivals past the half-mile pole, lost command with a quarter mile remaining, could not kick on with the winner in to the stretch, kept trying down the lane and bested the rest. GRAND LIAM sat off the pace in the two path before finding the rail, pulled the rider forward between runners on the backstretch, got blocked from the seven-sixteenths pole to the three-eighths marker, tipped four wide for a clear path, kept on down the lane and gained third. COW CREEK KID raced up close three deep, bid five, four then three deep in the middle stages, fought three deep to the quarter pole and folded. NEOTERIC got bumped hard from outside leaving the gate, went up to duel from inside, inched ahead around the clubhouse turn, took hold early on the backstretch and dropped back between rivals, went two wide around the far turn and could not rally. PALACE REVOLT reluctant loading into the gate, followed three deep out of range then moved into the two path around the clubhouse turn, drew closer three deep between rivals on the backstretch but got shuffled back at the half-mile pole, had to pause behind a rival near the three-eighths marker and could not make an impact down the lane. ITS JUST MATH got knocked into inner rival in the beginning, chased in the two path, bid between foes on the backstretch, got outkicked into the far turn, started to weaken around the bend and faded. NORA'S FIREBALL allowed to settle next to the rail in the early going, was coaxed into a close up position on the backstretch, lost ground through the second bend and came up empty in the drive. TRAFALGAR'S HERO veered in and bumped at the start, dueled from outside, vied four, three, then two wide on the backstretch, fought between foes on the far turn and folded. WAR FIRE broke a step slow and lost a clear path leaving the gate, trailed in the early going and never got involved.
