Chart notes

LIKA ROLLING STONE raced just off the pace on the outside, dropped from the five path to the four path early on the turn, chased in the four path through that bend, came under the crop in upper stretch, gained under a drive into the final furlong, took the advantage outside the sixteenth-pole then moved clear under a strong hand-ride to prevail. GONE AND FORGOTTEN raced just off the pace between horses, dropped from the four path to the two path early on the turn, chased from that point into the final furlong, gained to make a bid between horses outside the sixteenth-pole but was outfinished while showing good courage to get the place. SPRING MAGIC was hustled from the gate, moved up to dispute the pace on the inside of a rival, vied inside to the two path while still inside that foe on the turn, battled under a drive into the final furlong, dropped back into the final sixteenth and weakened while able to hold the show. IRISH JACKSON settled off the pace, checked off heels near the seven-sixteenths pole, was roused while moving from the two path to the three path on the turn, turned into the stretch under the crop, moved out in the drive and improved position to get the last spot in the superfecta. SPIRITUAL LADY showed speed then disputed the pace on the outside, vied in the two then three path on the turn, led under a drive into the final furlong, was collared by the winner outside the sixteenth-pole and tired. JACKIE THE JOKER was taken in hand early on the backstretch then settled under some restraint, saved ground while roused on the turn, remained on her inside lead in the stretch and lacked the needed response. MY FIRST LOVE settled on the outside, moved in some leaving the backstretch, was roused in the three to four path on the turn and also lacked the needed response. PLAY GOOD PAY GOOD was well placed towards the front, dropped back leaving the backstretch, moved from the three path to the two path early on the turn and failed to respond. R FUNNY BIZNESS dropped back after the start then moved in at the rear, shifted from the rail to the three path early on the turn, moved to the five path outside the three-eighths pole, continued in the five path into the stretch, drifted in outside the furlong marker and was no factor.
