Chart notes

ADIOS NOW settled off the early pace outside, advanced four wide around the turn, took the lead in upper stretch, kicked clear leaving the eighth pole and held safe under a drive. AWESOME BEAST tracked the pace two wide, swung five wide in upper stretch, drifted out through the lane and rallied for the place. NOBLE J raced off the early pace, bid three wide between foes around the turn, took the lead near the quarter pole, continued on the left lead in the lane and lasted for the show. ROAR READY trailed inside, tipped out in upper stretch and passed tiring rivals. VERTRAUEN pressed the pace two wide, led near the five-sixteenths marker, vied to midstretch and tired. ENNIS TOWN broke slowly, raced two wide and never threatened. SMOKE AN A PANCAKE led at the rail and was through early.
