Chart notes

FAVORABLE SCENARIO bumped soundly twice with an opponent at the start then dropped back, saved ground while reserved towards the rear, came off the inside late on the far turn, was roused in the three path into the stretch, angled out while rallying into the final furlong and closed strongly to get up in the final strides and prevail. JOHNY'S RENDEZVOUS tossed his head early, raced in the two path on the first turn, settled outside but with cover on the backstretch, was roused in the two path on the far turn, moved to the three path late on that bend, turned into upper stretch under a drive, pursued the leader in the stretch, gained determinedly into the final sixteenth, made a bid between foes late, reached even terms for the lead in the final strides but just missed while narrowly able to get the place. WICKED IMPROBABLE moved in while going to the front, was well rated while setting the pace in the two path, responded well when asked near the quarter-pole, raced under a strong hand-ride in the stretch, shortened stride into the final sixteenth and was caught without the use of the crop but was clear for the show. SNARE settled on the inside, was asked inside the five-sixteenths pole, spun into upper stretch under a drive and lacked the needed kick. MAKI MONARCHY was taken under a tight hold early, dropped from the three path to the two path late on the first turn, stalked the leader down the backstretch, was taken under stronger restraint briefly entering the far turn, saved ground on that bend, moved to the two path while asked outside the quarter-pole, chased under a drive in the stretch and also lacked the needed kick. ANTIETAM bumped hard with a foe at the start then dropped back, rounded the first turn in the two path, was unhurried at the rear, moved from the two path to the four path while roused on the far turn and failed to threaten. UNCLE'S GOLD broke a step slow, went around the first turn in the three then two path, settled on the outside, was urged along in the two to three path on the far turn and lacked the needed response.
