Chart notes

USUALLY WRONG contested the early pace three deep down the backstretch, took command leaving the quarter pole still in hand responded when roused in the stretch and widened the margin a bit in deep stretch. TUSSLING CHARLIE contested the early pace inside of rivals, dropped back three-eighths pole the re-bid three wide into the stretch, finished well despite drifting out but had to settle for second best. AMERICAN KNOW HOW settled at the back but never far behind, circled the field on the turn, came five wide into the stretch and finished with good energy but lacked the winning kick. SIGN OF WAR was sent hard from the break but unable to contest the early pace, raced mid-pack then made a bid four wide at the top of the stretch but flattened out late. MY GOLDEN M tracked the pace to the inside, saved ground then lacked a finish. TDZ HINT OF POWER vied between horses early, took a short lead into the turn then weakened at the top of the stretch racing on the left lead and tired.
