Chart notes

ACKNOWLEDGEMEPLZ sprinted to the front from inside, padded the lead around the bend, continued unchallenged into deep stretch and held well over the late bid from the runner-up. BLACKSMITH raced up close off the rail the outside a pair of rivals, asked three wide around the bend, chased within range through the final furlong, then dug in late but ran out of ground. RIO GRANDE broke in a bit, stalked two wide around the bend, chased near the inside into the lane and weakened. EASY COMPANY tracked off the rail up the backstretch, moved into the two path for the turn, quickly found the rail, moved back off the fence turning for home and lacked further response. POSTMODERN broke a step slow and inward, raced bit green early then quickly moved up from inside and was taken in hand, asked along the fence around the turn but weakened in the stretch run.
