Chart notes

STRYDA cruised up to take the lead along the rail into the turn, quickly put away outside rival leaving the furlong marker, running on the wrong lead held safe driving through the wire. VALID REASON broke alertly, pressed the leader two wide around the turn, no match from the furlong marker, chased on while never able to switch leads through the lane. FORGOTTEN GIFT roused on chased the pace three wide around the turn, finished willingly for the show. HOT FUDGE WARRIOR chased mid-pack just off the rail into the turn, three wide running on the wrong lead, evened out to the wire. DOLCE VELOCE pressed inside into the turn, checked repeatedly around the bend, had no late punch. SMALLTOWNSMOKESHOW chased off the pace four wide into the turn, weakened stretch. SHINELIKEADIAMOND slow into stride, never factored.
