Chart notes

SPICE RUNNER prompted three deep into the turn, bid turning for home, drew clear in upper stretch before flopping back to his left lead once encountering right handed pressure at the three furlong pole, changed back to his right lead when his rider used to a left handed crop leaving the furlong grounds and held well thereafter. BAYTOWN DREAMER broke a step slow and bobbled slightly at the start, pursued off of the pace outside of rivals, ranged up four wide turning for home, gained place in upper stretch and willingly chased the clear leader home. SIR VINCENT broke inwardly, tracked along the inside, pursued while moving out to the three path around the turn, got outmoved by an outer rival to trail at the five sixteenths pole, chased while shifting out to the five path in midstretch and kept on to move up. SENSE OF FREEDOM vied two wide and between horses, got outkicked by his outer counterpart in upper stretch and gave way. COMPRESSED vied for the lead inside of a pair of foes around the turn, got headed while inside of a trio of rivals in upper stretch and faded while hanging on his left lead.
