Chart notes

FEAR THE CRUISE showed speed, dueled two wide to quarter, shook free upper stretch, drew off to the final furlong, ridden out. AMERICAN SECRETS off bit slow, settled to turn, asked three wide upper, closed well late, no match for the winner and held for second. MINDBLOWER awkward start and spotted the field to begin, angled four wide upper stretch, mild late bid, missed second, clear third. DASHING AMERICAN tracked outside, chased three wide to quarter, weakened stretch. TORREADO forward early, pressed inside to quarter, turned away upper stretch, chased FEAR THE CRUISE into the final furlong, faded late. CHINO MIRAGE settled inside, got caught in traffic nearing the quarter, saved ground to the stretch, no late rally. AMERICAN KNIGHT settled to turn, trailed to quarter, swung widest upper stretch, no late bid. AWSOME CHARLIE hit gate at the start then squeezed early, chased three to four wide to the quarter marker, no factor stretch. STRAIT N NARROW hustled, chased pace to turn, saved ground to stretch, tired lane. SAPELLO GUSTO crowded start, off pace to turn, coaxed two to three wide upper, empty stretch. LOS TRES CARNALES forward early, chased between two wide to the quarter pole, stopped in the stretch.
