Chart notes

DEPUTY CURLIN travelled three wide taking over command outside midway around the initial turn, dictated the easy pace while hounded outside down the backstretch, edged away from the early challenger with three furlongs still to run getting a slight breather through the final turn, was finally set down while runners closing in outside at the top of the lane and under a well rationed out ride had more when called upon to draw away again late for the win. EL CAPO was taken a strong hold off when eager inside fighting the rider relinquishing the front-end midway on the first of two turns, settled into a good rhythm inside foes in the middle of the pack at the half mile marker,, sat poised on the rail waiting for the cue behind the pacesetter on the fence through the second bend, shifted outside in the two path looking the main threat between rivals at the top of the stretch, tried to get to the winner at the furlong pole closing in mildly, was repelled with the winner having more by the sixteenth pole and ran on to be easily be second best on this day. APELDOORN tracked outside in the beginning, continued outside shadowing the leader down the back straight, was hard ridden in the two path making no gain on the frontrunner leaving the five sixteenths pole while being passed on each side by rallying runners as well, could not match strides with the top pair in mid-stretch but did finish up willingly to hold on inside for the third place share in deep stretch. PRINCECREST trailed the field early on going three wide around the first bend, had the outside position in the three path while in midfield down the back straight, offered a brief spurt three wide around horses at the five sixteenths pole, could not sustain the rally in the four path by upper stretch posing little threat to the front pair, battled outside for the show money in the final furlong but had to settle on the fringes in the end. MIND AND MUSCLE stalked near the rear settling in the two path in the beginning, galloped behind the soft pace seeing the tightly bunched group along the backside, could not advance on the far turn with the pace quickening at the quarter pole and could not be a factor on the fence in the late running.
