Chart notes

DUCKDUCKDUCK was knocked off stride leaving the gate by the inside runner, settled in midfield between rivals in the four path early on, took closer order with a half mile remaining, ranged up three wide around the turn, started to reach for more ground when urged on five wide at the quarter pole, swung out widest in the six path full of run on the outside of horses at the top of the stretch, closed in steadily down the lane and drove by in the final seventy yards for the late running win. RELOAD RALEIGH had a head in front with runners on each side down the back straight, edged away from the inside speed foe at the five sixteenths pole, braced for the new challenger outside at the quarter marker, stubbornly dug in on the rail when collared outside in upper stretch, gamely repelled that rival by the sixteenth pole but could not find more in reserve one more time to fend off the oncoming charge by the winner outside in deep stretch. BIG TIME BOSS was isolated keeping a close eye on the lead three runners down the backside, was asked for more run to go after the frontrunner at the five sixteenths pole, quickly responded making a sharp move around foes four wide at the quarter pole, had aim on the battling duo at the top of the lane but needed more in the late running when evening out between foes in the last sixteenth of a mile to capture the third place award. PRINCECREST was unhurried trailing the field going into the backstretch, started to pick up rivals passing the stablemate inside at the half, saved ground advancing on the rail midway around the bend, scraped paint lengthening stride coming with a rail run, had good late energy inside in deep stretch and got up right at the finish line to settle on the fringes. MISTER BLUE broke awkwardly to be last leaving the gate, improved along the backside under a snug hold to watch the leader outside four furlongs from the wire, sat all alone watching the embattled pair up top at the three furlong pole, closed in looming three wide on the outside at the quarter pole, may have poked his head in front for a stride or two battling for the lead outside in upper stretch, stayed on the incorrect lead to the finish, faded between horses at the sixteenth pole and was nabbed at the wire by an inside runner for the minor placing. STREETSHAVENONAME was bumped inside being pushed out on the break, stalked close to the back at the start, improved on the inside at the half, kept pace in mid-division under a ride through the turn, moved out to the four path for the stretch drive but lacked a rally through the lane between rivals. FLEET OF FOOT tracked five deep outside of runners in midfield in the early stages, regressed down the backstretch to trail outside at the half, could see the field on the turn travelling in the two path, shifted out three wide turning for home and passed a couple of tired runners in the final furlong. SILVER IS BEST bobbled breaking out at the start, travelled between horses in the middle of the pack early on, made little headway going three wide around the oval, angled out the five path straightening out for home but could not be a factor in the late running. BIG BOLD AND FIRST pressed the issue on the rail down the backside, continued to force the pace on the inside through the turn, gave way arguing up front on the fence by the quarter pole, shortened stride inside runners in upper stretch and faltered by the furlong marker.
