Chart notes

BETTERDAYSRCOMING (IRE) stalked the top pair to the turn from the two path, patiently handled around the bend, eased out a bit approaching the stretch, surged to the front outside the eighth pole, cleared midstretch and was ridden out in the final sixteenth. AGENCY tracked outside a rival to the turn, chased two wide around the bend, three wide approaching the stretch, finished well to gain second but lacked the needed punch to overthrow the winner. BELLY UP dueled from outside, led briefly in upper stretch before being passed by the winner, flattened in the late stages but managed to save third. CARVER hard to load into the gate, dueled from inside, fought head to head through the turn, yielded at the eighth pole and weakened. BINGING steadied behind CARVER early, tracked the dueling pace from inside, roused on the turn, moved off the fence in the drive and weakened.
