Chart notes

TIZ MARKS SPIRIT broke sharply, then raced three deep of four horses contesting the early lead, backed off a bit early on the turn, then came back on in the stretch, battled gamely with BUTCHER HOLLER in deep stretch, and got the nose down just in time. BUTCHER HOLLER was not involved in the early pace scramble, moved up into contention on the turn, launched a bid from the five-sixteenths marker, got the inside run into the stretch, hooked into a spirited duel with TIZ MARKS SPIRIT in the final furlong, and came up on the short end of the photo in a game effort. DONEGAL DREAMER stumbled at the start, then was outrun early, got to the rail when clear, took the inside path through the turn, then angled out four-wide at the top of the stretch, finished well under steady handling, was gaining on the leaders but ran out of time. TEXAS ADOPTER was last away and outrun through the early stages, rallied three wide through the turn, then got floated five-wide into the stretch, finished up well but just missed out on a minor award. GONE ELVIS made the front end out of the gate with a trio of rivals stacked up to the outside, shook away on the turn, had a short lead at the top of the stretch, but could not last and weakened. MO SOPO lacked the speed to contest the early pace but tracked in a good spot, not too far back, came four wide into the stretch but lacked the necessary response. COMPETITIVE SHOCK was two-deep contesting the early pace, came under a stiff drive after passing the three-furlong pole, dropped off the pace, and tired in the stretch. HE'S SUPER WICKED contested the early pace four-wide, started to weaken heading into the turn and was done before the stretch. Track Attendance: 0 Handle: $16,062 Off Track Wagering Handle: $990,456
