Chart notes

PIKE PLACE rated well back into the far turn, looped around the field seven deep into the lane, sustained rally in time for the victory. WOW THAT'S HOT tracked the pace inside down the back stretch, angled out for wide into the lane, found a clean seem between runners, kicked on late, out finished in the final jumps. MANOR BORN tracked the pace four wide down the backside, put to task three wide through the lane, chased on willingly to capture the show money. DOMINANT SPIRIT broke sharp, set the pace jut off the rail into the far turn, herded leaving the quarter pole, flattened out through the final stages. RUDDY BUDDY broke in air at the start, raced off the pace three and four wide, bid six deep into the lane, evened stride through the final sixteenth. KENDAMA saved ground off the pace into the second bend, rail bid into the lane, stalled out through the final stages. KENTUCKY DAWN stalked the pace two wide down the back stretch, roused on cut the corner into the lane, under pressure from the furlong marker, faded through the wire.
