Chart notes

GUS'S GAMBLE set the pace, took command on the turn and from the three path at the top of the stretch was much the best. BONGINO was in touch and hustled along on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch was no match for the winner. BILL NEEDLE was off slow, had a mild on the turn and from the seven path at the top of the stretch was up for show. EXCEED showed early speed from the outside and had a good position on the turn but from the four path at the top of the stretch leveled off. RESCUE THAT GIRL stumbled at the start, trailed the field on the turn and had no impact. SOCIETY JOE was hustled early and saved ground on the turn but was not a factor.
