Chart notes

IMPROBABLE FIRST settled three-wide early, then was coaxed along after passing the half-mile pole to go after the leaders, bid three-wide into the stretch and wore down PICARO on the lead to be along in plenty of time to prevail. PICARO made the lead under pressure from CANAVERO, shook free of that one at the three-furlong pole, opened up a clear lead in the stretch but could not hold off the winner in the final yards, while finishing well clear of the next horse. COOL COUPLE was allowed to settle from the break, was at the back of the field heading into the turn, then produced a steady finish to move into a clear third. GREEWHIZ last away, moved up four-wide down the backstretch, was carried five or six wide into the stretch, and was mildly gaining. BREEZE THE BAYOU was outpaced early and never a factor. SPELLED WELL got put in-tight by IMPROBABLE FIRST in the initial stages, settled four-wide well off the pace, and lacked a rally. HEART OF AN ANGEL chased under a drive to the turn, then retreated. CANAVERO pressed the pace to the three-furlong pole, then tired. THERE WAS A STEWARDS INQUIRY INTO THE EARLY RUNNING. AFTER A REVIEW, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
