Chart notes

PROVEN ADVOCATE settled while saving ground in the early stages, maintained a rail path to the second turn, gained ground two wide at the quarter marker, shifted back to the rail in upper stretch and loomed at the furlong pole, took command past mid-stretch, kicked clear into the final sixteenth and was ridden out in the late stages to win as much the best. COLONEL YORKE settled mid-pack and three wide early on, was reserved through the backstretch run then chased the pacesetter three wide into the far turn, rallied and vied for the lead nearing the furlong grounds, was no match for the winner into the final sixteenth but kept on late to be second best. CINCO RICHIE settled mid-pack and between rivals, was reserved through the backstretch run, got caught in a bit of traffic at the three-eighths then angled four wide nearing the quarter pole, rallied to mid-stretch, needed more in the late stages but ran on in deep stretch to earn the show honors. BOBBY BRINKLEY was prominent away from the start, ceded the early lead and tracked the loose leader while saving ground into the backstretch, saved all of the ground to the far turn, chased MOR VICTORY to the quarter pole then ran in pursuit two wide into the stretch, was outkicked into the final sixteenth and just missed for third on the wire. MOR VICTORY sent for the early lead, drew off into the backstretch run and carved out solid fractions while clear into the far turn, came under pressure into upper stretch, was overtaken at the furlong marker then faded in the final sixteenth. RAROTONGA was unhurried to the backstretch, trailed to the quarter marker then swung widest to upper stretch, gained ground nearing the furlong pole, could not sustain that run to the final sixteenth and flattened out. REGAL TERKA settled three wide to the first turn, was unhurried along the backstretch then roused four wide into the second turn, swung five wide to upper stretch, chased on the left lead to the furlong pole, needed more in the late stages and did not threaten the leaders in deep stretch. JUST BERNIE settled in mid-pack and saved ground to the first turn, saved all of the ground along the backstretch run and into the far turn, got caught in traffic in upper stretch, was outkicked to the furlong pole and could not muster the needed late response. VIETNAM VICTORY was forwardly placed away from the start, tracked the loose leader two wide along the backstretch run, chased three wide into the far turn, could not find more into upper stretch and gave way in the drive.
