Chart notes

RADIO GOO GOO was steadied sharply in the two path between horses going into the first of two turns, advanced smartly inside runners along the backstretch to sit in the third flight on the rail by the three eighths pole, waited for the cue to go on the far turn, was asked for run with a quarter mile from home having a quick turn of foot electing to go up the fence at the top of the lane and drove past rivals inside under a very savvy ride to kick on in the final seventy yards for the victory. CHERVONARUTA had a good spot drafting behind the pacesetter on the first turn, continued to sit behind the frontrunner with company on each side at the three eighths pole, was poised measuring the leader in the last bend, shifted out to make his run three wide turning for home, quickened at the furlong marker to seize command briefly with a sixteenth to run but was denied in deep stretch when slightly outkicked by the winner inside a few jumps before the finish line. ADORABLE ANGEL took this field up front going into the first turn, slowed the tempo down considerably dictating the pace along the backside, moved well in control through the far turn, was collared on both sides offering little resistance to the battling lead pair at the sixteenth pole but did fight on late to hold for the show money at the finish line. RYO AMAZING settled on the rail in the third flight on the first bend, edged up inside runners down the backside to sit behind the leader at the seven sixteenths pole, dropped back on the fence not able to hold inside position at the three eighths marker, shifted out trying to re-rally three wide at the quarter pole, angled out further with some momentum in the five path driving to the wire and finished up willingly to settle on the fringes in the end. BERTHA travelled in the three path in the middle of the pack early on, inched up on the leader along the backside, regressed at the three eighths pole, began to pick up the bit inside foes under a vigorous ride midway on the last turn , shifted just out two wide for the drive and found his best stride late coming up on the fence in the final sixteenth of a mile trying to close in for the show award at the finish line. VRANA (IRE) shadowed the leader outside in the early stages, chased the pacesetter outside another rival unable to gain through the far turn, shifted out four wide dueling for a minor share in upper stretch but faded between foes in the last sixteenth of a mile. SCAT HUMOR was second to last in the beginning having only the troubled starter beaten, made no movement inside foes along the backside, tried to start a run but had to be throttled down inside rivals at the five sixteenths pole, shifted outside in the two path turning for home looking for room, angled back to the fence by the furlong marker but lacked a rally when urged inside runners in the final furlong. FROGINAPOND stalked near the rear just off the rail, travelled outside only ahead of one runner down the back straight, regressed while going three wide on the last bend but did show some run down the stretch to pass a few weary foes in mid-stretch. DANCIN MARY MARIE had a good spot behind the leader in the two path in the first bend, pulled the rider closer three deep on the outside under a snug hold with the pace slowing down along the backside, was nudged on for more at the three eighths marker but could not hold position outside through the far turn, shortened stride four wide at the top of the lane and never switched leads to the wire. WHAT A COMPLEX travelled widest in the eight path heading into the first turn, moved up four wide around the bend, was shuffled back unable to hold position outside four deep at the half, made little headway three wide on the last turn and failed to menace in the four path in the stretch running. BUTTERFLY BILLIE stalked in midfield going seven wide between horses into the bend, was three deep having the eventual winner to his inside midway along the backstretch, dropped back between rivals on the far turn, offered a brief spurt four wide outside foes at the quarter pole, angled out seven wide again turning for home and was empty in the drive to the wire. OUT OF POVERTY was away slowly trail the group into the first of two turns, still could see the field making no progression along the back straight, could not close the gap on rivals on the last bend and galloped down the lane across the finish line never factoring at any point of the race.
