Chart notes

URBAN RULER was lightly bumped at the start, applied heavy pressure to the early pace, claimed a narrow lead at the three eighths, began to pull away from the previous leader in the stretch while holding off a late drive. SOKOTA tracked the pace four wide, rallied down the stretch under left handed encouragement but was held at bay by the winner. MIRACLE ON CENTRAL bumped a rival at the start, tracked the early pace three wide, finished evenly. PERFECT DIAL rushed up to set a pressured pace from the inside, conceded the lead at the three eighths, faded in the final furlong. BROCK'S BOY hopped at the start, trailed for most, passed tiring foe late. MAX THE BUTLER hit the inside of the gate at the start, raced off the pace along the inside, looked to close in down the stretch but weakened in the final furlong.
