Chart notes

LASTING SILENCE veered out on the break, moved to the rail from the outer post saving ground trailing down the backside, pulled the rider improving between horses at the half, patiently waited in the clustered group through the turn, shifted out seven wide at the top of the stretch gaining steadily outside foes through the lane, dueled for the lead outside while laying in at the sixteenth pole and edged away keeping a straight path under left handed encouragement in the final seventy yards. BIG BABY HENRY bobbled slightly soon after the break, moved up positions while going three wide travelling smartly between horses in midturn, loomed six wide at the quarter pole, closed in to get his head in front for a moment inside the eighth pole but could not continue on late with the winner getting the better of the battle in the final few jumps before the wire. GOLDEN TEST was loose on the lead down the back straight, rattled on up top unopposed throughout the turn, had a host of runners bearing down on him while in the two path clinging up top turning for home, gave way grudgingly to the top two rivals outside with a sixteenth from the finish but did stay on to easily best the rest for the show money. DADDY SEND MONEY had the rail position while watching the lead trio down the backside, edged up taking closer order saving all the ground around the bend, was right on the leaders heels two wide at the top of the stretch, shifted out for clear run three wide at the eighth pole and finished up evenly to be a fringe player in the end. MAGIC SLIPS travelled with runners on either side just off the fence in mid-division, was shuffled back a few spots in midturn with the field tightly bunched, could not find room to run five wide at the top of the lane and when clear in the last eighth of mile failed to fire in the late stages. FIELD HOCKEY tracked the pacesetter outside in the three path, sat just outside off the leader around the oval, bid four wide straightening out for the drive, dug in determinedly fighting to the wire but had enough and faded in the three path in the last sixteenth of a mile. MONDAY MORNING had the rail ahead of a couple of runners in the beginning, co-trailed on the inside around the bend, skimmed the fence narrowing the margin in upper stretch, shifted out in the three path with a furlong remaining but lacked a rally in deep stretch. LUMBERYARD travelled four deep in mid-pack, kept pace when roused with five sixteenths to go but was doing so while four wide on the turn, swung out widest in the nine path two furlongs from the prize but could not get into contention in the stretch drive. ARAMI'S SPEIGHSTER tracked the leader between foes early on, held position when nudged on for more with three eighths to go, was hard ridden three wide between runners with the field spread across at the quarter pole and wilted having little left at the furlong marker. RAISE A PROFIT settled near the rear outside in the beginning, co-trailed outside another going four wide at the half, shifted in three wide at the top of the lane, swung out again to the nine path with three sixteenths to go having a lane but came up empty in the late stretch running.
