Chart notes

TAKE THE HINT tracked the leaders while racing five wide around the turn, tipped in to run down the leaders midway down the stretch and kicked clear. IMPERIAL BANDIT dueled for the lead from four wide to the top of the stretch before edging away but was collared late and was second best. HE'S EXAGGERATING dueled for the lead from the inside to the top of the stretch and slowly gave way but stayed on to hold the show. GOMARKGO chased the leaders down the backstretch then moved up on the turn, tipped out to four wide in upper stretch to show late interest to be best of the rest. ATCHAFALAYA SUNSET dueled for the lead from two wide to the turn and slowly weakened. MARKS LEGACY dueled for the lead from three wide to the turn then faded, tired and was transported on the equine ambulance.
