Chart notes

CAT CHAT grew detached at the tail of the field four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked to the two path into the turn coming under light coaxing half a mile from home, began to tip out with five-sixteenths to go circling around CAPTURING near the quarter pole and heading six wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive rallying to issue a challenge inside the final furlong taking command near the sixteenth marker, then edged clear to the finish kept to task. SERENDIPITY dueled briefly with CAPTURING to her outside before taking sole command and showing the way in hand two to three paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked inside through the turn and was patiently handled when slipping away to the quarter pole, cut the corner into upper stretch, got roused inside the three-sixteenths under threat, dug in and was collared nearing the sixteenth pole, kept on to the finish. CAPTURING dueled briefly from the four path with the aforementioned foe before giving chase when shaken off half a mile from home, tucked to the two path and was coaxed along midway on the turn, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, tired through to the finish.
