Chart notes

SHAMATEUR assumed command utilizing the inside post entering the first turn, remained up top while pressured outside by the half, comfortably continued on saving all the ground up top through the last turn, had company outside at the top of the stretch, threw it all down inside to the wire, lost the lead for a moment on the head bob at the sixteenth pole but came right back on to stick his neck out at the wire for the resilient frontrunning win. CONACHER was in the second flight on the outside rating kindly in the early going, moved in closer by the half, bid for the lead three wide at the quarter pole, dueled outside for the lead in mid-stretch, poked his head in front for a fleeting moment with a sixteenth from home but was denied by a game winner digging in late. SOL DE VERANO had a good spot nestled on the rail just behind the leader down the backside, still remained on the fence waiting for the cue to go throughout the far turn, moved in scraping paint at the top of the stretch, could not find more to threaten the front duo who had it to themselves at the furlong pole but did show grit to fight on inside to capture the show money late. GLINTINDADDYSEYE had an outside position close to the back of the pack early on, settled in the third flight down the backside, made a sharp move three wide at the three-furlong pole circling rivals, was in the hunt four wide turning for home, could not sustain the rally to catch the top pair but did finish up well enough just missing out on the battle for third place share in deep stretch. YOU'RE SO LUCKY was part of the rear pairing inside another runner early on, started to make a move on the fence in the far bend at the three furlong pole, shifted out with five sixteenths from home, angled to the four path straightening out to the wire and finished up mildly down the lane. BLONDINA'S BOY co-trailed trail on the outside on the initial bend, made little progression outside down the back straight, was relegated to the rear when unable to quicken with foes at the three eighths pole, picked up a rival outside with a quarter mile to run and caught another weary foe in the final seventy yards. SPEEDY BULLEIT tracked the pacesetter outside in the first of two turns, moved in closer with the leader slowing the tempo down slightly to hound the pace outside down the backstretch, was scrubbed on for more but was unable to maintain forward position between foes by the quarter pole and yielded between horses at the furlong marker. AWE INSPIRED stalked near the back of the pack settling on the rail in the early stages, was hard ridden but was going in the wrong direction midway through the final bend and had little to show inside rivals down the stretch drive.
