Chart notes

WATCH ME DADDY took a light bump from TOTAL SMOKESHOW at the start and was under a drive throughout, tracked inside behind the pace, then moved up near the quarter pole to bid for the lead three wide into the stretch, gradually wore down DEVOUTLY on the lead. DEVOUTLY rushed up under a stout hold by the rider after a tardy start to gain the lead at the half was a length clear approachign the quarter pole with rider still trying to temper the pace, fought back when challenged by WATCH ME DADDY at the top of the stretch, dueled gamely to deep stretch but yielded in the final yards. EMERALD EYES was off slow, and pinched back after the break, raced mid-pack along the inside, then outfinished the rest for the minor award, some distance behind the top two but miles clear of the next finisher. SMARTASSET broke well and raced on the outside of the early pace battle, loomed six-wide at the quarter pole, then had some trouble changing leads at the top of the stretch, but still outfinished the rest of the field, though well behind the top three. PRINCESS EM threw the head at the break, then showed no early speed despite the best efforts of the rider, chased the field to the stretch, was kept to task in the stretch, and improved. ANOTHERWINNER off a step slow was under a ride from the outset, saved ground but never threatened. OH EYE SEE away well, vied three-wide for the early lead, loomed a threat to the quarter pole, then flattened out in upper stretch and was unable to threaten late. TOTAL SMOKESHOW broke on top, then contested the early pace two-deep until late on the turn, then came up empty when asked to go on in the stretch. COLLECT GOLD tracked just behind the early pace scramble down the backstretch, maintained position to the turn, then went six-wide at the top of the stretch and flattened out in the late stages.
