Chart notes

FAVORITE ROAD tracked the vying two sum inside around the turn, shifted out five deep for the stretch run, running on the wrong lead rallied with good energy up in time. RIDE THE BRAND stumbled at the start, quickly recovered vied two wide around the turn, chased on gamely through the final stages. HARDLY EVER BETTER broke sharp, vied inside around the turn, along the rail through the final sixteenth, stayed on well settled in for the show. EASIER SAID sluggish out of the chute, came up empty. IN HIGH GEAR pressed the pace three wide around the turn, running on the wrong lead weakened through the stretch. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
