Chart notes

HEY EUGENE prompted the pace two wide down the backstretch, angled out to the six path entering the stretch, was struck one right handed before the furlong marker, surged late under a hand ride and was along in time. MIDNIGHT WARSHIP was in a bit tight at the start, moved up three wide to make the lead nearing the turn, opened a daylight lead before the quarter pole, drifted to the five path entering the stretch then couldn't handle the winner in the late stages. BISCUITS AND GRITS unhurried early, finished with good courage two wide. STUNT MAN set the early pace along the inside, kept on into the stretch and weakened late. RAISE THE PURSES trailed.
