Chart notes

FORDY G settled in the early going, rallied inside nearing the far turn, closed the gap and got to the leader into the stretch then dug in gamely to get the nod. LIVE A GOOD LIFE had good speed, eased in to save ground, dueled from the rail then was confronted by the winner in upper stretch, battled that one determinedly but was nipped. BOB'S SNIPER broke in and bumped a foe at the start, was a pace factor two wide then got outkicked into the stretch but stayed on gamely to hold third. GENERAL THAYER stumbled then was bumped at the start, commenced a bid nearing the second turn, was three wide and dueled the runnerup into the stretch but was outkicked then stayed on gamely for the show. MATTAWA N THAT pressed the pace to the second turn, got outkicked to the stretch and finished evenly. MYSTIC WOOD FORCE had no speed and was never a factor.
