Chart notes

WINNING HEART tracked the early pace from the second flight, went up and pressed the pace three wide into the turn, disputed the pace to the quarter pole then shook free of AINT BEHAVIN into the stretch, drew away into the final furlong and was ridden out late to win as much the best. HELA FOREVER broke out at the start but was away in good order, tracked the early pace from the inside, chased while saving ground into the turn, made a steady rail bid to mid-stretch, was no match for the winner into the final furlong but stayed on well late to be second best. AINT BEHAVIN broke alertly and showed good speed from the outside leaving the start, disputed the pace between rivals approaching the turn, dueled inside of WINNING HEART heading to the quarter pole, was repelled by that foe into the stretch, could not keep pace with the top pair into the final sixteenth but was a clear third at the finish. ROCKNTHECLUBHOUSE got shuffled back a bit at the start then trailed in the early going, advanced into the turn and angled four to five wide to upper stretch, needed more in the late stages but kept on in the final sixteenth to improve position. KINGDOM CITY broke in good order and disputed the early pace from inside of AINT BEHAVIN, pressed from the inside heading into the turn, lost ground along the bend then angled three wide nearing the top of the lane, could not find the needed response in the drive and gave way. URBAN JUSTICE tracked the early pace from between foes, was caught in tight and steadied between foes at the half-mile pole, chased three wide into the turn, spun four wide for the stretch drive, could not find more at the furlong grounds and weakened. MR TRIG tracked the early pace from between foes, chased the leaders two wide nearing the quarter marker, could not find the needed response to upper stretch and did not threaten in the final stages. CONVEY TO ME was reluctant to load then lunged at the start and was off slowly, rushed up outside of rivals along the backstretch, chased four wide into the turn, could not keep pace nearing the quarter marker and gave way in the stretch.
