Chart notes

FOXY DIVA was content to track the lone speed while outside another in the early going, narrowed the margin at the quarter pole going three wide between horses, shifted out to the four path in the hunt with runners on both sides in mid-stretch and ran in determinedly in the final sixteenth of a mile to get up then hold off a oncoming outside rival in deep stretch. MAGICAL TRICK co-trailed on the outside leaving the chute, advanced smartly outside foes at the half, ranged up circling rivals midturn, was forced out gathering speed widest in the five path turning for home, found its best stride late but lost the win in a photo at the wire. WORLD SHOWCASE was well in hand loose up top along the backside, continued up front unopposed around the oval, dug in stubbornly when headed outside initially in upper stretch, held that rival at bay to the wire but was no match for the pair of late chargers outside in the final seventy yards. I'M TENACIOUS had the rail position keeping a close eye on the loose leader along the backside straight, was roused with five sixteenths from home moving in sharply by the quarter pole to bid for the lead three wide between foes at the top of the lane but was outkicked by rivals on either side in the final furlong to settle on the fringes in the end. DREAMS AND SCHEMES broke a step slow to trail the field in the beginning, improved slightly inside runners down the backstretch, made little headway taking the short way around the turn, skimmed the fence straightening out for the drive but could not get into contention inside rivals in the late running. RED SAMURAI settled in mid-division between horses along the backside, dropped back to the rear unable to quicken with others who were making a move by the three furling pole and had little to give in the two path in the drive to the wire.
