Chart notes

UTAH BEACH laid off of the pace two wide, moved out to the four path into the backstretch, progressed three wide turning for home, rallied to reel in the leader at the furlong grounds and edged clear. VERSTAPPEN pressed two wide, gained an advantage with seven sixteenth to go, built a clear advantage around the final bend, but hung on his left lead through upper stretch, got collared by an outer bidder while changing over at the furlong ground and was second best. MISSED THE CUT tracked along the inside, moved two wide and between horses to avoid a faltering IDRATHERBEBLESSED approaching the far turn, but had a hind heel clipped by a rival at the three furlong pole, steadied to alter course at the five sixteenths pole, shfited out to the four path into upper stretch and ran on willingly. SUGOI pursued from midpack three wide, then three to four wide into the backstretch, vied for place while chasing the clear leader and tucking two wide turning for home, but got outkicked by an outer rival entering the lane and gave way. ROCK'N A HALO laid off of the pace along the inside, steadied inside of troubled rivals into the far turn an failed to factor. ACCREDIT stalked three wide, chased while tucking to the inside turning for home and tired. IDRATHERBEBLESSED set the pace inside of a pressing rival, got headed by that one with seven sixteenths to go, steadied while faltering into the far turn, was eased thereafter, found to have bled and was transported off of the track in an equine ambulance. REBEL RED (GB) pursued from midpack two wide and between horses, moved to the three path at the five furlong pole, but clipped MISSED THE CUT's heel and fell into the far turn, then walked off. TAPIT SHOES trailed along the inside, but struck a fallen foe while attempting to leap that rival at the three furlong pole, dislodged his rider upon landing, then walked off.
