Chart notes

LILIES N PARADISE tracked in the three path was roused passing the quarter, angled out ot the five path at the top of the lane, and kicked on to inch ahead of an inner foe in the final strides. PULSTAR vied for the lead in the three path, took command while being coaxed at the top of the stretch, ran on to hold a firm lead into the final furlong, but was edged out by an outer foe in the final strides. A P SWEETHEART raced in midpack in the four path, angled out to the six path passing the eighth pole, and kept on for show. MURIEL SAX bumped with an inner foe at the start, rated along the inside around the turn, angled outside in upper stretch, and rallied late. WHAT'S A GOOD NAME bumped with an outer foe at the start, chased in the two path but finished evenly along the rail down the lane. PRACTICALLY FAMOUS pressed the pace inside early but faded from the two path down the stretch. SPA PROSPECTOR was prompted from up close in the four path but weakened in the stretch. NANZIG dueled for the lead in the two path but yielded three path down the lane. MY RAQUEL hopped at the start, was wellback in the two path and never menaced.
