Chart notes

REGATTA BAY moved up to apply pressure from the two path, claimed a narrow lead at the quarter, kept on task through the finish to hold off driving foes. HUDSON'S DAY vied for the early lead, settled behind the pace, tipped out three wide at the top of the stretch to slowly close in on the leader but needed more. SAUCY ARGUMENT settled off the pace three wide, trailed in the far turn, showed an impressive rally along the far outside of the stretch that came up just short. CONTRABAND EARLY found position around the middle of the pack, held position for an even finish. MY DAD'S GUITAR quickly claimed the lead to set a pressured pace, relinquished the lead at the quarter, weakened down the stretch. TRIPLE FOUR was bumped between rivals at the start, trailed for most, advanced slightly in the far turn, weakened back to last in the stretch.
