Chart notes

BENDOOG coaxed from the gate, raced two then three wide through the first turn before taking to the four path down the backstretch, tucked three wide into the far turn remaining patiently handled until set down angled six wide at the top of the stretch, rallied to issue a challenge inside the final furlong seizing command seventy yards from the finish before inching away at the end to prevail. FILM STAR coaxed from the start, went three wide through the first turn before settling four wide in aim of the front, tucked three wide into the far turn and began an advance on the leader three furlongs from home, came under light urging at the five-sixteenths and took over narrow command swinging five wide at the head of the stretch, dug in under a drive under growing threat to the outside, got caught seventy yards from home and fought on to the wire. CLASSIC CATCH just off the inside through the first turn, raced three then two wide in pursuit coming under encouragement nearing the quarter pole, went four to five wide at that station, ran on under a drive to secure the show honors. GENERAL BANKER brushed the off side stall at the start, raced forwardly placed along the inside through the first turn showing the way until displaced midway, tracked the leader along the inside from the two path down the backstretch, tucked inside half a mile from home, came under urging at the five-sixteenths and spun just off the inside into upper stretch, kept on under a drive to the finish. REPO ROCKS coaxed from the gate, raced forwardly placed just off the inside into the first turn, seized command seven and a half furlongs from home and showed the way in hand three then two wide, came under light coaxing with seven-sixteenths to run as FILM STAR latched on outside, got placed to further encouragement nearing the quarter pole under threat and yielded command spinning three wide at the head of the stretch, then weakened in the drive.
