Chart notes

POLITICS bumped with an inner rival soon after the start, tracked two wide, then outside of the top pair around the far turn, ranged up to bid entering the lane, dueled with an inner OUTLAW EMPIRE thereafter, exchanged a brush passing the sixteenth pole and prevailed. OUTLAW EMPIRE set the pace along the inside, dug in as an outer POLITICS bid entering the lane, battled neck and neck into the final furlong, exchanged light contact with a sixteenth to go and got bested. QUARRY bumped with an outer foe soon after the start, eased back between rivals early on to lay off of the pace along the inside, came under urging while moving out to the four path around the far turn, then ran on willingly. PROPS trailed in the four to two path around the first turn, then stayed on along the inside. CHUCK'S LAW stalked along the inside, chased while tipping out to the three path into the lane then gave way between rivals. NO HAY DOS pressed two wide, but yielded between to the top pair entering the lane and weakened.
