Chart notes

RHETORICAL angled in while showing speed, raced in the three path on the first turn, prompted the pace on the outside, vied in the three path on the far turn, took the lead outside the quarter-pole, shook clear under a drive outside the furlong marker then drifted in and proved much the best under steady urging. FIDELIGHTCAYUT went to the front, showed the way on the inside, was asked inside the five-sixteenths pole, lost the advantage to the winner outside the quarter-pole and proved no match but safely secured the place. MO KREESA angled in while showing speed then was taken under a tight hold, saved ground while well placed just off the pace, was asked near the quarter-pole, moved out while put to a drive in upper stretch and weakened but earned the show. CHARLES J was taken in hand off heels nearing the wire for the first turn, raced in the three path on the first turn, settled towards the back, moved from the two path to the four path while roused on the far turn, turned into the stretch in the six path and improved position without threatening. SKY MASTERSON bumped hard several times with a rival leaving the cute, raced in the three path on the first turn, settled on the outside, was asked in the three path on the far turn and came up empty. CALLING CARD saved ground on the first turn, settled towards the rear, moved from the rail to the three path on the far turn, swung out to the seven path into the stretch and failed to threaten. ALAN TURING settled on the inside, was asked on the far turn, moved to the two path outside the quarter-pole, came out to the five path into the stretch, moved in around the three-sixteenths pole, shifted back out in the vicinity of the furlong marker and failed to respond. LANDAUER was off slow while his assistant starter tended to two stalls and spotted the front a couple lengths, rounded the first turn in the two path, settled at the rear, saved ground while roused on the far turn and was no factor. CALVIN'S RIDE charged the front of his stall and hit the gate just prior to the latch being sprung, was held onto a moment longer than the rest of the field by the assistant starter who was tending from the stall to his outside, came out a step behind, went around the turns in the three to four path and was no factor. LEO'S REWARD bumped hard several times with an opponent leaving the chute, moved from the rail to the two path on the first turn, settled off the pace, was urged along while saving ground on the far turn and also failed to respond. A LISTER moved out early, went around the first turn in the five path, stalked the pace on the outside, was asked in the four path on the far turn, dropped back in the five path into the stretch and had nothing left. SOLO EMPIRE rounded the first turn in the four path, tracked the pace on the inside of a rival, was asked in the three path on the far turn, dropped back in upper stretch and faltered. FOLLOWING A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INTO THE START, CALVIN'S RIDE WAS DECLARED A NON-STARTER FOR WAGERING PURPOSES
