Chart notes

PRINCE DAY quickly took charge along the inside, continued up the backstretch and far turn under pressure, pulled away a few lengths in the stretch, held off late drives. AIN'T NO DISCO applied heavy pressure to the pace, backed off a few lengths in the upper stretch, found best stride late but was held at bay by the winner. SAND CAST moved up to track the pace three wide, showed a late rally to close ground but could not gain any position. SHARP STRIKE settled off the pace three wide, trailed at the half, passed rivals in the stretch to improve position. CESIUM sat behind the pace, backed off the pace going into the far turn, continued of from that position. TEXAS SPLURGE raced off the pace between horses, never threatened. AMERICAN VISION trailed for most, no factor.
