Chart notes

UNBRIDLED SCHOLAR saved ground setting the pace in hand and increased her advantage. SEXZIE tracked UNBRIDLED SCHOLAR racing two-wide, could not threaten that one but finished well for second. NEPHELE saved ground while being reserved off the pace and finished fairly well in a steady effort. RIVER DANCE settled in the middle of the field racing three-wide, angled out to be five-wide entering the stretch and failed to seriously threaten. STRIKING NOTES was allowed to settle while two-wide, came three-wide into the stretch and was not a factor.
