Chart notes

COUNTTHEBRAVE showed the way inside of a pair of prompters while remaining a bit off of the inner rail into the turn, shook free entering the lane, drove clear and held sway. RISK IT leaned out and brushed a rival at the start, raced off of the pace along the inside, took the turn in the two path, ran on between rivals into the final furlong, bid for place at the sixteenth pole and prevailed over an outer co-bidder at the wire. TIMING DIFFERENCE broke a step slow, pursued from midpack in the three path, tipped to the four path into upper stretch, ran on to offer a bid for place at the sixteenth pole but got outfinished by an inner rival. FULLY VOLATILE prompted outside of the eventual winner and along with an outer rival into the turn, but failed to sustain pressure entering the lane, drifted out while pursuing into the final furlong, straightened course and kept on between place-bidders into the final sixteenth but got outkicked. PERFECT MAGIC chased from midpack along the inside, pursued one paced through the lane and lacked a bid. VASA prompted three deep while kept in the four path into and around the turn, failed to sustain pressure leaving the five sixteenths pole, floated out to the five to six path into the lane and faded while hanging on his left lead. REDACTED broke a beat slow and was bushed by an inner rival leaving the gate, then trailed throughout.
