Chart notes

BLING laid off of the pace along the inside, launched a rally while tipping five wide into the lane, bid while shifting inwardly and clipping an inner ASTERNIA's heels at the furlong grounds, gained command leaving that station and drove clear. RUN FOR THE HILLS settled well back in the two path, pursued in the four to five path and between rivals leaving upper stretch, rallied into the final furlong, issued a late bid for place and edged that position. PAYNT YA LATER vied two wide and between horses, then along the inside nearing the turn, sparred with an outer rival into and through upper stretch, got outkicked by a wider bidder at the furlong grounds, battled for place with his earlier dueling counterpart thereafter, dug in as a wider rival bid for that position late but got nailed. CROWN IMPERIAL dueled three to two wide approaching the turn, battled through upper stretch, but got outkicked by an outer bidder passing the furlong grounds, fought on for place between horses late but missed. JILL JITTERBUG pursued from midpack near the inside, chased between horses into and through upper stretch but lacked progress thereafter. LAURA'S CHARM pursued from midpack in the three path, chased in the five to six path in upper stretch and lacked a bid. LITTLE PRANKSTER broke a beat slow, trailed in the three path, swung out to the six to seven path into upper stretch and failed to factor. MOONLIT LADY prompted along the inside before backing off to stalk with a half mile to go, chased the leaders in upper stretch, checked subtly inside of a troubled foe in midstretch and faded. SANDY BOTTOM pressed four to three wide approaching the turn, chased between horses into the lane, but steadied behind a troubled foe in midstretch and faded. ASTERNIA broke a beat slow, tracked four wide, crept closer to take aim entering the lane, but got outkicked by an outer rival nearing midstretch, clipped heels with that inwardly-shifting foe shortly after, encountered her rider losing his irons in the aftermath and faltered between horses. THE RIDER OF ASTERNIA CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST BLING ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN MID-STRETCH. FOLLOWING THE OBJECTION, AS WELL AS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY REVIEWING THE SAME MATTER, BLING WAS DISQUALIFIED AND PLACED TENTH.
