Chart notes

BIG SALT LICK was bumped by an inner rival and steadied between horses at the start, trailed early on, gained in the four path around the turn, bid leaving the five sixteenths pole, sustained his challenge outside of the leader into the final furlong and drove past at the sixteenth pole. BRAVE BLEND leaned outwardly and bumped an outer rival at the start, put a different outer foe into tight into the backstretch, prompted inside of the leader before backing off to stalk at the nine sixteenths pole, reengaged two wide into the far turn, bid along with an outer rival turning for home, led into the lane, held sway through midstretch but was bested with a sixteenth to go. CLEAR ECHO stalked two to three wide into the turn, chased between rivals before yielding turning for home, yet kept on to secure show. ODORICO bumped with an inner rival at the start, then was bumped by an different inner foe and forced to steady out of tight quarters between horses leaving the chute, raced off of the pace in the two path, trailed around the turn and failed to factor. FLYIN RYAN bumped with an inner foe entering the backstretch before being sent between horses, set the pace along the inside, but got headed by an outer bidder leaving the five sixteenths pole and weakened.
