Chart notes

TALKIN IN CURSIVE pressed the inner pacesetter from the three path, bid under coaxing midway around the turn, took command while tipping into the two path at the top of the lane, and drew clear. WINDY BAY laid in range just behind the leaders, waited along the inside around the turn, came under a ride passing the quarter, and kept on in the three path down the stretch for place. LOVER GIRL stalked an inner trio going into the turn, was coaxed from the four path passing the three-eighths pole, took aim at the top of the lane, but finished evenly for show. VALHALLA VIXEN showed the way in the two path, was cued when challenged while off the rail midway around the turn, but yielded in the stretch. FLAT OUT ROSE trailed in the three path, improved while nudged along between foes passing the quarter, swung out to the six path at the top of the lane, but weakened. LITE IT UP LOUIE rated in the five path, was driven from the four path around the turn, got carried out to the seven path at the top of the stretch, but retreated. EDISTRUDIS hit the gate leaving, tracked inside early but gave way around the turn.
