Chart notes

FALCON COVE raced within striking distance, moved up on the inside, angled out entering the stretch and drove clear before the wire. FINAL WAR raced in the middle of the field, saved ground around the second turn, angled out, bid, proved no match for the winner, but was a clear second. CARDINAL CUSHING went to the front, drove clear, saved ground and lacked a late kick. RECKLESS LOVE pressed the early pace, weakened and finished evenly. SHERKHAN lacked early speed, saved ground, moved up, but was no factor. MISSING BRIAN raced evenly near the back and was never a threat. ROCKIN' JAMES always raced near the back and showed little. LEE STREET pressed the early pace, dropped back and was done.
