Chart notes

MANOAH'S GLORY was well placed towards the inside and made a inside bid by the quarter pole and took over leaving the turn and drew away in the final furlong to prove best, driving. MY FAVORITE BIRD was allowed to settle early, advanced three to four wide on the far turn and made a four wide bid leaving the turn but flattened out in the final furlong while clearly second best. NOT NOW NICK prompted the pace and made a three wide bid by the five sixteenths to vie for command but weakened in the lane while staying on to best the rest. RAMSES THE GREAT set the early pace in the three path on the first turn and then was two wide on the far turn and headed by the five sixteenths and gave way leaving the quarter pole. LUFKIN was reserved on the inside on the first turn, moved out and raced three to four wide on the far turn and came five wide into the lane while being no factor. COMPLEXED was hard held three to two wide on the first turn and failed to menace.
