Chart notes

FALCON BLUE broke sharp, set the tempo along the rail into the far turn, when given the nod leaving the quarter pole, accelerated away from lone pursuer turning into the lane, drew away under steady guidance. NO BRAKE NEEDED away in good order, pressed the pace setter two wide into the far turn, no match leaving the furlong marker, chased on well bested the rest. BIG DILEMMA stumbled at the start, advanced outside rivals into the far turn, could never fully recover from bad start, came along late well clear for the show. SACKETT broke a step slow, pressed between into the first turn, rated back leaving the first, roused on four deep into the second bend, came up empty late. BOX OFFICE hustled up out of the gate, rated back off the pace leaving the first turn, saved ground into the far turn, weakened inside through the lane.
