Chart notes

BALLAD OF WARRIOR stalked a rival down the backstretch on the rail, moved out to the three path to launch a bid midway on the turn, put a head in front leaving the quarter pole while under confident handling, then held clear down the stretch under intermittent urging. PARTY AT SAM'S broke best, led the way down the backstretch two-deep with BALLAD OF WARRIOR always in close attendance, was challenged by the rival approaching the quarter pole, fought back under strong handling and urging, but had to settle for second best while clear of the next finisher. ROAN BURGUNDY broke out at the start and was last in the initial stages, advanced down the backstretch to be with striking distance of the leaders on the turn, kept to the inside and launched a rally under steady handling, was no match for the top pair in the stretch but kept on well to win the race for third while drifting out a bit in the later stages. STRAWBERRY TREAT was the distant trailer early, then made a mild late rally after the issue had already been decided up front. UNIFIED BY CANDY lost the path just after the start, steadied, then chased three wide close up to the turn, was unable to quicken with the top two from the three-furlong pole, then tired in the final furlong.
