Chart notes

NATE'S FOCUS raced within contention, saved ground around the final turn, pulled away down the lane and proved the best. DIRTY DEAL raced within striking distance, forwardly placed throughout, proved no match for the winner, but was best of others. ONGOING CHALLENGE raced near the back in the early going, made a steady gain, came around the second turn on the outside, made mild bid and proved no match for the top two. LIFE'S RIDE void of early speed and passed tired ones late. MARTIN'S MO TOM lacked early speed, saved ground around the final turn, moved up, but was no factor. STRAY LIGHTNING vied for the early advantage, saved ground and faded. BIGFUNONTHEBAYOU dueled on the front end, was finished early and trailed late.
