Chart notes

FATHER GOOSE broke well the tracked between horses early, moved to challenge HANDSOME HAROLD just past the half, dueled through the turn then took command in upper stretch, went clear and easily held safe from a late bid on the outside. FATHER MARK hustled from the outside, tracked three wide, made a mild bid on the turn and came into the stretch level with the eventual winner but was so match in the stretch, kept on late to claim the second prize. ALL IN SYNC was slow to get into stride then was outrun under urging from the start, dropped far behind then swung six wide into the stretch and made a mild late run but was never a serious threat. HANDSOME HAROLD broke sharply and cleared early, was taken on by FATHER GOOSE going into the turn, dueled that rival through the turn then gave way in the stretch. WAR SONG hustled from the gate then settled inside of the tracking group, was ridden to keep up on the turn then was not a factor in the stretch. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
