Chart notes

LITTLE DITTY raced off the pace through the first turn, tipped out five wide to steadily advance through the far turn entering the stretch just behind the pace, inhaled the dueling leaders in the final few strides. LIL BRO COOP sat behind the pace, moved up along the inside at the quarter to enter a three way duel, put a head in front at the sixteenth but got nailed by driving foe. STEEL VENOM tracked the pace three wide, moved up through the far turn to enter the stretch in a three way duel, needed just a bit more. HEXCEL quickly set a pressured pace, was contested on both sides entering the stretch, out-finished by rivals. TEN DAYS LATER trailed through the first turn, settled off the pace, showed a good effort in the stretch to close willingly. LICENSE TO STEAL saved ground to press the early pace, retreated at the quarter. HOMELAND MESSA trailed after the first turn, made no impact. TIMING ERROR RESULTED IN A HAND TIME TO BE POSTED BY THE STEWARDS.
