Chart notes

SILENT RULE bobbled at the start, settled in a stalking position four wide, rallied six wide in upper stretch to make the lead before the furlong marker and drew clear under right handed urging. DIAMOND DUST pressed the pace two wide, made the lead nearing the turn, set the pace into the stretch, drifted out late and was no match for the winner. STAGE NAME unhurried early, found his best stride late in the five path. EMPIRE'S FIRE never far back, offered a mild bid seven wide in upper stretch then checked outside the drifting DIAMOND DUST nearing the wire. EXCITEMENT trailed while widest throughout and improved position late in the middle of the racetrack. SCRIMPER failed to menace. IT'S OFFICIAL moved up four wide on the turn then came up empty. BOOTS MALONE was hustled along, set a pressured pace along the inside down the backstretch, had speed into the stretch then gave way. RUFFIN vied for the early lead along the inside and was through after a half.
