Chart notes

GOLDEN SYMPHONY coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand just off the inside, got set down taking the inside route into upper stretch, edged clear to the eighth pole, dug in and held well to the finish. BLOWN COVER coaxed from the start, chased four then three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths, spun two to three wide for home, offered up a mild kick to cut into the winner in the late stages while well clear of the rest and along second best. MIDDLE MARKET got bumped at the start by VERY STORMY, chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn urged along from the three-eighths marker, continued four wide into upper stretch, stayed on one paced to the wire. BOB JOHN RAY coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside briefly and then two then three wide coming under a ride three furlongs from home, went three wide into upper stretch, passed tired rivals to the end. VERY STORMY broke out at the start bumping MIDDLE MARKET, chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn under encouragement from the five-sixteenths, tipped three to four wide at the top of the stretch and tired. BRAVE BUCK bobbled at the break and conceded two lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under urging from midway on the turn, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and faltered.
