Chart notes

THRU THE VINE had to steady when COLNEL VARGO crossed in front early, trailed on the inside to the stretch, rallied up the fence, drew alongside the leader with a sixteenth remaining and got up in time. FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP rushed up to vie three deep then cleared inner pair up the backstretch, led a bit off the rail into the turn, drifted out around the bend, continued clear into the final furlong, challenged by THRU THE VINE late and passed near the wire. WILLIE BIRD showed early speed while taking a bump from COLONEL VARGO early, fought for the lead inside a pair of rivals before taking contact from COLONEL VARGO again at the half-mile pole, chased along the rail, drifted into the lane, challenged in the final furlong but lacked the needed late punch. COLONEL VARGO came in and bumped WILLIE BIRD early, vied between rivals then got crowded and bumped at the half-mile pole, chased between rivals from the two path into the turn, angled out late on the bend to travel four wide into the lane and kept trying for a minor award. THUNDERIAN chased three deep between foes into the turn, swung six wide into the lane and weakened. REINVEST chased four deep leaving the backstretch, took aim five wide turning for home but faded in the drive. THERE WAS AN INQUIRY INVOLVING COLONEL VARGO, THRU THE VINE AND WILLIE BIRD EARLY IN THE RACE. FOLLOWING A REVIEW, THE STEWARDS RULED THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE.
