Chart notes

BAD BEAT BRIAN vied along the inside before backing off to stalk an outer pair approaching the turn, pursued from the three path around the bend, ranged up to take aim in upper stretch, bid in the final furlong and drove clear. CANE CREEK ROAD bumped an outer rival at the start, vied two wide and between horses early on, ceded the front to his outer counterpart reaching the turn, stalked outside of that one around the bend, rebid entering the lane, led into the final furlong but was bested by an outer rival shortly after, yielded late yet saved place. READY TO ROLL bumped with an outer rival at the start, laid off of the pace in the three path, moved to the inside turning for home, ran on two wide and between horses into the final sixteenth, progressed to offer an inside bid for place but missed at the wire. SIR PISTOLERO was jostled between horses at the start, steadied back and had a hind heel clipped by a rival at the start, raced well back in the two path, rallied three wide and between horses while hanging on his left lead in the final sixteenth but needed more for place. PRETTY FAST tracked from midpack near the inside, chased while leaning out to the four path in upper stretch and stayed on mildly. MO HAIR SAM broke a step slow, was put to tight quarters and clipped a rival's heels at the start, raced well back in the three path and failed to factor. SENSICAL bumped with an inner rival leaving the gate, tracked from the three path, chased while floating to the four to five path in upper stretch and gave way. INTO THE SUNRISE came in and jostled an inner rival at the start, vied three deep, cleared and crossed over to the inside into the turn, got headed by an outer re-bidder in upper stretch and weakened. FEATHERS ROAD trailed in the three path and made little impact.
