Chart notes

NAT GAS tracked in the three path, was roused along the inside midway around the turn, bid from the rail at the top of the lane, and drew clear in the final furlong. MESSI THE GREAT set the pace in the three path, was roused in the two path passing the quarter, dug in while trying to fight off an outer foe in upper stretch, but yielded in the final furlong. BOYD'S BAND chased in the five path, was ridden in the three path around the turn, floated out to the seven path in upper stretch, and kept on for show. LOU'S BIRTHDAY rated in the four path, was ridden in the two path around the turn, and finished evenly along the inside down the lane. SKY MASTERSON raced off the pace in the three path, was driven from the rail round the turn, but made no impact. HALF A LEAGUE was unhurried in the two path early, roused passing the three-eighths, but did not factor in the five path down the lane. LATIN REBEL stalked in the four path but weakened in the three path down the stretch.
