Chart notes

RACING DRIVER brushed with an inner rival leaving the gate, pursued from the two path, yielded between rivals to trail the field entering the far turn, swung out to the six path while rebuilding momentum entering the lane, rallied to bid outside of the leader at the sixteenth pole and drove past. ASKARI brushed with rivals on both sides at the start, tracked two to three wide, ranged up outside of the top pair turning for home, gained an advantage at the three sixteenths pole, but was caught by an outer challenger passing the sixteenth pole. WHAT'S UP DOC brushed with an outer foe leaving the gate, laid off of the pace along the inside, encountered mild traffic after moving to the three path in upper stretch, shifted inwardly in the final furlong, rallied willingly and edged show late. GOOGOL JOKE brushed with an inner foe at the start, set the pace as an outer rival applied pressure, vied with that one around the far turn, got headed by a wider bidder passing the sixteenth pole, yielded and lost show late. EXCEL CALCULATOR broke a beat slow and brushed with an outer rival at the start, trailed along the inside, shifted to the three path at the five furlong pole, improved before tucking to the two path at the three furlong pole, chased in the four path and among rivals in upper stretch and lacked a bid. CURVINO broke a step slow, pursued from midpack three to four wide, chased in the four to three path around the far turn, moved out to the five path entering the lane, got outkicked by an outer foe in midstretch and yielded. IRON SHARPENS IRON tracked along the inside, chased turning for home and tired. SOLID LEFT pressed two wide, vied around the far turn, but faded between horses entering the lane and weakened.
