Chart notes

RANGER BATTALION settled comfortably off the pace, was asked to pick it up near the seven-sixteenths pole, angled from the rail to the four path while gaining on the turn, rallied to get the lead in the five path into upper stretch, kicked clear outside the furlong marker under a right-handed crop, switched to a left-handed crop outside the sixteenth-pole and drew away under strong urging. MEGA MAGIC showed speed then was rated just off the pace, chased inside to the two path on the turn, moved out in upper stretch and earned the place while no match for the winner. ART FAIR bumped with a rival at the start, showed speed between horses then set the pace, vied along the rail on the turn, was asked outside the quarter-pole, lost the advantage into upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened but was clear for the show. FEVER NIGHT dropped back after the start, was urged early then settled at the rear, went around the turn in the three then two path, swung out to the six path into the stretch, drifted further out inside the three-sixteenths pole and lacked the needed response. JERRY'S OUT showed speed then tracked the pace on the outside, chased in the three path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and tired. UNCLE JIM broke out and bumped with an opponent, angled out near the three-quarter pole then was urged along on the outside, went around most of the turn in the four path then moved to the five path, dropped back in the six path into the stretch, drifted in the vicinity of the furlong marker and faltered.
