Chart notes

NATIONAL ARCHIVE went to the front, was well rated on the inside while setting the pace on an easy lead, controlled the action through the final turn, was asked at the quarter-pole then came under a drive, lost the advantage narrowly to the runner-up outside the furlong marker, dueled with that foe into the final sixteenth, had the rider lose his crop shortly thereafter, battled gamely under a strong hand-ride to the finish and narrowly prevailed. MIDNIGHT CONCERTO saved ground while reserved off the pace, was roused near the quarter-pole, chased under a drive into the final furlong, gained to make a bid along the rail into the final sixteenth, fought determinedly to the finish and just missed while narrowly up for the place. POOKIE bumped with a rival at the start, was rated just off the pace on the inside, shifted off the rail while roused at the quarter-pole, made a bid into upper stretch, took a short lead outside the furlong marker, led under a drive into the final sixteenth, fought with the top two to the finish and was denied while just able to get the show. TRAIL OF GOLD tugged on the bit some on the first turn, was reserved in the two path with cover, came under urging on the final turn, was driven into the stretch in the four path, rallied outside into the final furlong, closed well to make a bid late and just missed the trifecta. CHA CHA TAP dropped back to the rear early, saved ground at the tail-end of the field, angled out while roused late on the final turn, turned into upper stretch in the six path and failed to threaten. WIDDERSHINS moved from the rail to the two path on the first turn, was reserved with cover, moved out from behind cover briefly near the seven-eighths pole then tucked back into the two path, came under light encouragement in the three path on the final turn, spun into upper stretch in the five path and failed to respond. VICTORY BADGE bumped with a rival at the start, stalked the pace on the outside in the two path, was asked late on the backstretch, vied under urging on the last turn, battled under a drive into the final furlong and tired.
