Chart notes

SIGN OF WAR got away well, was always close up, waited for room late on the turn, then came three wide into the stretch, responded to steady handling and intermittent urging to surge clear and held of a late challenge to the outside. MATZOH BALL raced mid-pack after a slow start, continued to advance through the turn, loomed five wide at the top of the stretch and finished well under urging to gain the place and just miss getting to the winner. TRIPPLE D RULLER rushed to the lead from the break, dueled with MAXIMUS FREEDOM into the turn, took a short lead into the stretch, finished well but could not hold off the top pair. STRONG PROMISE tracked from well back four to five wide, advanced still wide on the turn and rallied six wide in the stretch but came up short. ALTERANA tracked well off the pace, got a clear run in the two path through the turn and finished with good interest but was too late. FATHER GOOSE was not involved in the early pace but saved all the ground, finished well under urging up the rail but was not quite good enough. HALF FULL raced close up five wide early, move up three wide to challenge for the lead at the quarter pole then was outkicked in the late stages. MAXIMUS FREEDOM broke on top, dueled with TRIPPLE D RULER through the early stages, was still with a chance late then weakened in the final yards. HALF AGAIN broke behind the field and chased close up throughout in an even effort. CALIBRACHOAMATTERS was close up tracking the pace then was eased out of the race after passing the three furlong pole, pulled up in the stretch and walked off. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
