Chart notes

PENEI was allowed to settle near the back around the first turn then circled the field from four wide on the final turn to run down the leader and won going away. HE'S READY TO WIN went to a clear lead down the backstretch but was collared nearing the eighth pole and stayed on to be clearly second best. EL LAGARTO raced in the middle of the pack then made a three wide bid on the final turn to rally for the show. STRAIGHT DROPBILLY stalked the pace from the inside to save ground through the final turn and faded. TOMS LUCKY MO settled off the pace while racing two wide and flattened out. VALHALLA VIKING was bumped leaving the gate then raced in the middle of the pack, fell back on the final turn and passed tiring rivals late. BEACH TRIPPIN hopped inward and bumed with rival and was not a threat. NOT FREE raced five wide into the first turn then tracked the leaders from three wide down the backstretch and gave way.
