Chart notes

CAWKAB settled well behind the early pace, made steady forward progress through the turn, loomed in upper stretch, then produced a strong, steady finish to take the lead late and hold off a late bid from a rival to the outside. SEND OFF was the trailer to the stretch, then rallied late to gain the place. LOVE PACK made the early lead with a couple of rivals in close pursuit, took a short lead in upper stretch, but gave way in the final yards. GHOST COWBOY vied three-wide early, went together with LOVE PACK through the turn, then weakened a bit in the stretch. BANDERA BLING was outpaced down the backstretch while racing two-wide, bid three-wide into the stretch but was outfinished. RIPSTER raced close up to the pace down the backstretch, then steadily retreated through the turn and was outrun the rest of the way.
