Chart notes

HERE'S THE THING was on the pace from the outset, pushed away leaving the quarter pole and held driving. LUTE'S DIAMOND stalked the winner to the quarter pole, came two wide to the stretch, could not make an impact but was easily second best. VISION OF THE KAT had no speed, trailed for a half mile then saved ground but was not a threat. STEEL NERVES was bumped by AIRKITA at the start, tracked the first time around then pushed up to duel on the backstretch, was outkicked by the winner and weakened. AIRKITA bobbled then bumped STEEL NERVES to begin, saved ground throughout but gave way after a half mile.
