Chart notes

CINCY'S ANNA settled off the pace, raced outside, closed steadily, wore down her rivals to get up late and drew off. GROUND CONTROL pressed the pace, rallied on the turn, swung wide entering the stretch, assumed command, inched clear, led to the sixteenth pole, was outclosed and held for place. BEST PERFORMER raced mid pack, bid along the rail on the turn and closed inside to get up for show. EMILY'S BULLET set the pace to the upper stretch, continued willingly when headed, hung late and lost position. GASTOWN saved ground early, advanced to the turn and lacked a closing response. GIRL THIRSTY raced mid pack along the inside, tired on the second turn and stopped. PULPIT'S DREAM pulled up and was transported off the track via an equine ambulance.
