Chart notes

GABE'S POSSUM pressed the pace, challenged for the lead on the turn, dueled through the stretch and proved best in an all out effort. GAME PORT was void of early speed, bid along the rail on the turn, closed willingly and was gaining late. RUNNING RAGGED stalked the pace, closed steadily and was gaining late. DISTINCTLY GOLDEN set a pressured pace, dueled through the stretch and was outfinished in a game effort. GOLD THIEF came out at the start, stalked the pace to the turn, fell back and finished evenly. GIRLIE'S MAX lagged early, went widest in the drive and offered a mild bid only. ASTHECOLDWINDBLOWS broke awkwardly, raced inside to the turn, angled out, was in tight between horses entering the stretch, dropped back and gave way.
