Chart notes

MO DODGY broke in then was hustled, showed speed on the inside of a foe then was eased back just off the pace, switched from the two path to the three path early on the turn, ranged up to make a bid outside the quarter-pole, took over while put to a drive in upper stretch, shook clear under the crop near the furlong marker, extended the advantage under one last pop of the crop outside the sixteenth-pole, swapped back to his inside lead while under hand-urging late and proved much the best. LAWYER MASON was urged along off the pace, raced inside to the two path on the turn, pursued the winner under a drive in the stretch and finished willingly to just get the place. NOWUCME NOWUDONT was off slow and spotted the front a few lengths, settled near the back after being urged early, saved ground on the turn, was roused at the quarter-pole then angled out in upper stretch and finished with good courage to just miss the place while narrowly up for the show. KING OF FOG was hustled to the front, went clear outside the half-mile pole, went around the turn in the two path, was asked inside the five-sixteenths pole, lost the advantage in upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong, moved out outside the sixteenth-pole while keeping on and just lost the last spot in the trifecta. ESSENTIALLY FAST broke out at the start, was rated on the outside, moved from the three path to the four path while let out on the turn, turned into the stretch in the five path, chased outside into the final furlong and weakened. B RAGING ON bumped with an opponent just after the start, was rated in third position under stout restraint, traveled around the turn in the three path while let out, spun into the stretch in the four path, pursued the leader under a drive into the final furlong and lacked the needed response. MINORINCONVENIENCE was hustled from the gate then bumped with a foe, settled at the rear after being urged early, bore out to around the six path and was taken up leaving the backstretch, dropped to the three path before the five-sixteenths pole and failed to rally.
