Chart notes

FUNNY FACTOR pressed the pace on the outside, chased in the three path on the turn, gained to get the lead outside the furlong marker, was given one pop of a right-handed crop shortly thereafter, switched to a left-handed crop while moving clear outside the sixteenth-pole then was placed under a hand-ride to the finish while best. TWENTY ONE RED was forced in at the start, settled off the pace, moved from the five path to the four path early on the turn, was roused on that bend, turned into upper stretch under a drive and finished with good courage for the place. DINGHY BAR was hustled from the gate, dropped back under urging, saved ground on the turn, moved out under a drive in the stretch and was along for the show. DAISY DOO broke out and bumped with a foe, bumped again with that rival shortly thereafter, settled towards the rear, raced in hand late on the backstretch, went around the turn in the two path, moved out in upper stretch, drifted out under a left-handed crop late and improved for the last spot in the superfecta. A LITTLE AT FIRST bumped with an opponent at the start then bumped again with that foe, settled near the rear, raced between foes in the three path early on the turn then dropped back while crowded some, moved to the two path late on that bend, angled out in upper stretch and failed to threaten. KULEANA bumped with a foe at the start, settled off the pace, shifted from the three path to the two path very early on the turn, was roused on that bend, spun into the stretch in the three path then moved further out and lacked the needed response. HELLZ KITCHEN was sent hard from the gate then angled in fast, showed speed then chased the pace, moved out around the half-mile pole, dropped from the four path to the two path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, chased into the final furlong, steadied outside the sixteenth-pole then moved around a foe and failed to menace. STORY OF RORY went to the front then showed the way, vied in the two path for most of the turn then dropped to the rail, was urged into upper stretch, lost the advantage to the winner outside the furlong marker and gave way. BOLD LOVE was hustled from the gate, moved in early while showing speed then chased the pace, saved ground on the turn, pursued the leader under a drive into the final furlong, checked when blocked outside the sixteenth-pole then hit the rail while stymied and dropped out while losing any chance. MR. BRES bumped with a rival at the start, settled well back in the field on the outside, navigated the turn in the four path, moved out outside the furlong marker and was no factor.
