Chart notes

FOXY CARA was hustled to the front, contested the pace on the inside of a rival, vied along the rail while asked on the turn, shook clear under a strong hand-ride outside the furlong marker then came under a right-handed crop and drew away under steady urging to prove much the best. BEST IMPRESSION showed speed then contested the pace on the outside, vied in the two then three path on the turn, was asked outside the five-sixteenths pole, fought outside of the winner while remaining on her inside lead in upper stretch, swapped to the proper lead while losing touch with that foe outside the furlong marker and proved no match while clear for the place. BROOKLYN DANTZ was taken back early then moved out, settled on the outside, was urged along late on the backstretch, moved in into the turn then dropped from the two path to the inside, saved ground on that bend, turned into the stretch under the crop while in the two path and lacked the needed response. RODEO STAR showed speed then stalked the leaders on the outside, was urged along late on the backstretch, chased in the four path on the turn, dropped back outside the quarter-pole and tired.
