Chart notes

LIBERTY RISING settled off the pace, gained along the rail on the turn, rallied to make a bid inside of the leader in upper stretch, took the advantage outside the furlong marker and drew clear under steady urging. APOLLO CODE brushed with a rival early, contested the pace on the inside of a foe, vied in the two path on the turn, shook clear late on that bend, was challenged by the winner in upper stretch, lost the advantage to that opponent outside the furlong marker and proved no match while able to hold the place. FORGONE was urged along off the pace, went around the turn in the two path, moved out in upper stretch and missed the place while clear for the show. SMILENSAYCHEESE broke out and brushed the gate then was taken up, spotted the front a few lengths, was urged along at the rear, traveled around the turn in the four to five path and failed to threaten. SKYTOWN was urged along off the pace, angled out near the five-eighths pole, rounded the turn in the three path, was driven into the stretch in the five path and failed to rally. BRAVE BUCK dropped back early then was ridden along on the outside, went around the turn in the four path and was no factor. CAMM' DUKE was hustled from the gate then brushed with a foe early, contested the pace on the outside then in the three path on the turn, dropped back late on that bend and stopped then was eased in the final furlong but walked off.
