Chart notes

ALL THE HARDWAYS drafted back off of heated pace battle and raced in the clear nearing the half, gathered steam and advanced three wide and to the inside of a rival nearing the lane, shifted out five wide then straightened soon after, closed stoutly outside foes under left handed asks, forged to command in deep stretch and held firm. PACO THE TACO MAN engaged AND SUM from his outside in the opening furlong and got into a spirited duel, poked a head in front mid turn, shook clear under a drive leaving mid stretch then kept on valiantly while just saving the place. FEAR NOTHING broke a step slow, regrouped and edged up while saving ground, gained along the rail into the stretch, eased out and finished with good energy between runners. WICKEDDIVINE , well placed two wide pursuing the dueling leaders, shifted out leaving the three sixteenths and churned on. GREAT HEAVENS settled well back, raced three wide into the lane, swung out past mid stretch and offered a belated kick. AND SUM broke on top despite a bump, secured the inside then was quickly joined from his outside, sparred into and around the turn, failed to kick on with the winner leaving mid stretch and weakened. NEVERWORKEDADAY tossed his head about leaving the gate and went up into the air a bit, regrouped and raced well back into and around the turn, saved ground into the lane, eased out late and had a mild response. SAME DAY AS L J broke inward bumping a rival, corrected and chased off the inside, raced three deep near the five sixteenths and tired.
