Chart notes
MERGER ceded the early lead, stalked the pace from outside of rivals into the turn, roused four wide into the stretch, responded well into the final furlong, reeled in DYNAMIC GIFT in deep stretch then edged away in the final strides. DYNAMIC GIFT sent to the early lead, showed speed to the turn while off of the rail and kicked clear nearing the quarter marker, held sway to mid-stretch, all out into the final sixteenth, was caught in deep stretch by the winner and just held for second at the wire. GUESS AGAIN stalked the early pace two wide and between rivals, chased into upper stretch, was outkicked in the final furlong then just missed for third. BUCKEYE MIKE tracked the early pace while widest up the backstretch, chased four to five wide to the quarter marker, chased the leaders to mid-stretch and flattened out in the late stages. SILVER IS A GIFT hesitated at the start and spotted the field to begin, rushed up heading to the turn then raced in traffic nearing the quarter marker, split rivals into upper stretch then did not rally in the final furlong. PLAYFULASITGETS chased the pace three wide and between rivals, failed to respond nearing mid-stretch and weakened in the drive. R CLIFFHANGER well placed in the early going, tracked the pace from the inside heading to the turn, chased from the rail heading to the quarter pole, could not keep pace to upper stretch, was eased through the final furlong and walked off. THERE WAS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INTO THE START OF THE RACE, INVOLVING SILVER IS A GIFT. THE STEWARDS DETERMINED SILVER IS A GIFT CAUSED HIS OWN ISSUES AT THE START AND THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE.
