Chart notes

TRUEBELIEVE showed speed from the inside, had a clear lead on the turn and with mild pressure through the stretch prevailed. GUS'S GAMBLE was in touch, a factor from the inside on the turn and from the three path at the top of the stretch finished well. EXCEED was away alertly and raced evenly on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch needed more. CORE was hustled early and had a good position on the turn but from the four path at the top of the stretch leveled off. SPITE STORE settled off the pace and saved ground on the turn but from the six path at the top of the stretch was never a threat.
