Chart notes

SAVE US MELANIA disputed the pace on the inside of rivals, vied along the rail on the turn, shook clear at the quarter-pole then was asked in upper stretch, was given one pop of a right-handed crop outside the sixteenth-pole then held under a solid hand-ride to the finish. OUR LIBERTY BELLE settled off the pace, was roused in the two to three path on the turn, swung out into upper stretch then came well out in the track and finished with good energy to just get the place. I'M BUZZY broke a step slow, settled off the pace, was roused in the two path on the turn, came out to the four path into upper stretch and finished willingly to just miss the place while able to get the show. LUNA MOTH was hustled from the gate, prompted the pace on the outside, was urged along late on the backstretch, chased in the three path on the turn, was put to the crop outside the quarter-pole, dropped back into the stretch and weakened then lost the trifecta. PISTOL LIZ ABLAZEN was hustled from the gate, angled in entering the main-track, was urged along at the rear, moved from the two path to the three path on the turn, shifted to the four path late on that bend, turned into the stretch in the six path then angled further out and was no factor. SMOKIN' HOT KITTY disputed the pace on the outside of the winner, was asked in the two path on the turn, dropped back into the stretch and tired. FLOGE settled off the pace, moved in entering the main-track, was asked near the half-mile pole, shifted from the rail to the two path while roused on the turn, moved to the three path late on that bend, spun into the stretch in the four path and failed to threaten. ALTERED SHOT stumbled just after the start, settled off the pace, moved closer with six furlongs to run, was asked late on the backstretch, chased inside on the turn and faltered.
