Chart notes

BIG BOY JAK sped to the early lead, set the pace along the inner rail and dug in tenaciously late to prevail. HALL MONITOR , never far back, raced in the three path on both turns and rallied. GIFTEDBYDESIGN , taken to the inner rail soon after the break, remained along the rail, swung five wide in upper stretch and closed strongly. CHILL THE J stalked the pace, moved up outside the winner in mid stretch then gave way. EMMETT stalked the pace racing along the inner rail, waited for room entering the stretch and weakened in the drive. BOLT TO RUN , unhurried early, moved up in the two path between horses entering the far turn then weakened. SARATOGA CRUISER broke slowly, stayed four wide on the turns and was not a factor.
