Chart notes
BUETANE coaxed along early then had to pause when CACTUS CHARLIE crossed in front, raced up close to the outside of that rival up the backstretch, applied pressure leaving the backstretch, dueled around the bend, kicked clear from CACTUS CHALIE into the stretch, asked left handed at the eighth pole and was ridden to to the wire. FALCON JET away quickly, stalked from inside, eased over to the two path on the turn, was closest in pursuit of BUETANE entering the final furlong but was no match for the stablemate in the late stages. CHARLIE'S CURLIN followed in range four deep to the turn, chased three deep around the bend, spun four wide into the lane, lacked the needed response but was able to run on for the show honors. STARK CONTRAST chased three deep between rivals to the turn, moved into the two path around the bend and faded in the lane. CACTUS CHARLIE broke well, cleared inner rivals and set the tone in the opening stages, took pressure from BEUTANE nearing the turn, fought along the inside, yielded to the winner turning for home and gave way in the drive. MEDICI chased between foes up the backstretch, dropped back while finding the rail on the turn, then tired in the lane.
