Chart notes

MINDFRAME eased back between rivals with five furlongs to go, laid off of the pace in the three path, swung out to the seven path entering the lane, then sustained his rally to bid outside of the leaders in the closing stages and was up in time. BANISHING was bumped between horses and pinched back at the start, raced at the rear early on, brushed his way to the three path around the turn, moved to the five path in upper stretch, closed in behind the main group in midstretch, tipped inwardly to find a seam between rivals in the final furlong, split foes to issue a late bid inside of the leaders but missed to an outer rival at the wire and shared place. NYSOS pursued from midpack four deep, shifted to the five to six path in upper stretch, sustained gradual progress to bid passing the furlong pole, vied late as bidders on either side challenged and missed among foes while dead-heating for place. BOOK'EM DANNO bumped an inner rival at the start, raced forwardly along the inside while under consistent moderate coaxing, chased from the two path around the turn, split foes in the four path in upper stretch to bid and forge an advantage passing the furlong grounds, but was caught by bidders on either side late. MULLIKIN leaned outwardly leaving the gate pressed four deep into and around the turn, bid entering the lane, vied with inner rivals from the five path in upper stretch, but got headed by an inner bidder at the furlong grounds and yielded between rivals late. JUST STEEL broke outwardly and bumped a rival at the start, saved ground off of the pace and advanced inside of rivals. TEJANO TWIST was void of early speed, got brushed to the four path by an inner rival around the turn, fanned out to the eight path in upper stretch and stayed on mildly. HOIST THE GOLD bumped with an outer foe leaving the gate, prompted two wide and between horses, vied around the turn, dueled in the three path in upper stretch but gave way among foes in the final furlong. GIANT MISCHIEF set a pressured pace along the inside, clung to an advantage from a trio of prompters into and around the turn, but got headed in the two path in upper stretch and faded. EXTRA ANEJO tracked two wide and between horses, got briefly keen while in a bit tight among foes at the five furlong pole, chased in the three path around the turn, then tired while delaying changing leads until midstretch. HERE MI SONG bumped with an inner foe at the start, pressed three wide and between horses, the faded turning for home.
