Chart notes

IDENTITY CRISIS angled in while hustled to the front then showed the way with a clear advantage, dictated terms along the rail on the turn, responded well when set down in upper stretch, came under a right-handed crop outside the sixteenth-pole and held under steady urging. KING PUCK was asked some leaving the gate, established a good position just off the pace on the inside, was asked near the five-sixteenths pole, chased inside under a drive into the final furlong, moved off the rail outside the sixteenth-pole, gained some on the winner late and willingly earned the place. ANNEXPERIENCE broke out a bit then was quickly corrected while hustled from the gate, chased the pace on the outside then in the two path on the turn, pursued the winner on the outside while remaining on his left-lead in the stretch and finished with good courage to just miss the place while clear for the show. ASKINGFORAFRIEND settled off the pace, bumped hard twice with a foe leaving the backstretch, rounded the turn in the two path, was roused late on that bend, moved out path under a drive in upper stretch and lacked the needed kick. LIGHT FANTASTIC came outwards at the start, settled on the outside, bumped hard twice with an opponent leaving the backstretch, was roused in the four path on the turn, moved out a path under a drive in upper stretch and lacked the needed response. KLIMT MASTER broke out significantly at the start, settled on the outside, was roused in the four path on the turn, turned into upper stretch in the five path, moved in around the furlong marker and failed to respond.
