Chart notes
EL QUESO GRANDE tracked five-wide down the backstretch, launched a bid approaching the three-furlong pole, took aim on the leading pair turning for home, was carrried out to the middle of the racetrack but wore down PASS LINE in the final yards to prevail. PASS LINE got away well and chased ROAD TO ELDORADO through the early stages, moved up to challenge for the lead late on the turn, got some pushback from that rival, then was carried wide through the stretch, gained the advantage in the final yards, but could not hold off the winner. ROAD TO ELDORADO was sent hard to the front, cleared away early, dug in under pressure from the outside, drifted out in the stretch carrying a couple of rivals out, then weakened in the final yards. ROCKETS RED FLAIR settled inside mid-pack, tipped out to the three path for the stretch run, had some trouble changing leads, and hung a bit in the late stages. DANCE MAN tracked close up four-wide, was having to be coaxed along a bit to keep pace late on the backstretch run, was left alone on the inside, and finished with some interest but could not close the deal. BERRY MISCHIEVOUS raced close up while saving ground and lacked a finishing kick. MAJOR GRIFFIN raced three-wide in mid-pack and finished evenly. CAPTAIN JACK raced near the back and never menaced. GOLD BARON settled at the back of the pack, two to three-wide but never mounted a rally. COUNTY JUDGE was always outrun.
