Chart notes

WHO'S THE KING became fractious in the gate when his neighbor to the outside broke through the front, went to the front, was well rated while setting the pace in the two path, responded well when asked inside the five-sixteenths pole, extended the advantage into upper stretch, drew off under a strong hand-ride into the final furlong, remained well clear while flagged with a right-handed crop into the final sixteenth and maintained a safe advantage under a hand-ride to the finish. GOTTA GUY was taken up between foes in tight quarters early, raced in the three path for most of the first turn, moved to the four then five path late on that bend, dropped in some entering the backstretch, was unhurried at the rear of the field, raced inside to the two path while still well behind the leaders on the far turn, was roused outside the five-sixteenths pole, spun into the stretch in the three path under the crop and finished with good energy to garner the place. TRUE CONNECTION became restless in the gate when a rival broke through the front, started the turn in the four path then dropped in, reached the rail before completing half of the first turn, was well placed just off the pace, moved off the rail early on the far turn then was asked, shifted to the three path nearing the three-eighths pole, pursued the winner under a drive into upper stretch then dropped further behind that foe, kept on willingly in the final furlong and safely secured the show. ULTIMATE STRIKE was urged along early, saved ground on the first turn, settled towards the back, moved closer with five furlongs to run, raced in hand while just behind an opponent passing the nine-sixteenths pole, saved ground while urged along on the far turn and lacked the needed response. I'M SOLO N IN LOVE broke hard through the front of the gate, was brought back around and reloaded after being deemed fit to run by the state veterinarian, came away in good order, raced in the three path on the first turn, tracked the pace on the outside, came up empty in the three then four path on the far turn and retreated. BROWN DON'T STOP became fractious in the gate when a foe to his inside broke through the front, dropped from the five path to the three path on the first turn, settled off the pace, was roused in the two then three path on the far turn and failed to respond. BOB JOHN RAY moved from the rail to the four path on the first turn, settled on the outside, was urged along late on the backstretch, retreated in the four then five path on the far turn and faltered then was eased but walked off.
