Chart notes

JOSIE'S PRIORITY pushed to the front from the start, maintained a short lead into and through the turn, opened up a bit late on the turn while traveling well, responded when rounded in upper stretch, and held clear under left-handed urging. VALHALLA VIKING pressed the pace four wide, kept on well to be second while never a serious threat to the winner. LOUISIANA LUCA allowed to settle from the break and dropped back to be last going into the turn, tipped three wide into the stretch, and produced a late run to gain third while never a threat to the winner. PUCKSTER settled in the middle of the pack under some restraint, chased through the turn, then had some response when set down at the top of the stretch, but was not good enough. LA BOUCANE broke well, pressed the pace three-wide down the backstretch, then chased JOSIE'S PRIORITY through the turn while under a drive, could not go with that one from the top of the stretch and finished evenly. WILDCATS'S MEOW broke well and was up close to the early pace racing on the rail, struggled to keep pace approaching the three-furlong pole and was not involved in the late stages. ONE LINE WHIT held up at the back through the initial stages, was let loose approaching the half-mile pole, advanced under a drive three-wide through the turn, then drifted out very wide into the stretch under left-handed urging and lacked a finishing kick.
