Chart notes

ELSIE'S SMILE stalked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, challenged from the two path coming around the turn and drew off in the lane. SISTERLITHIC bumped with the horse to her outside at the start, settled in the middle of the pack on the outside through the opening quarter, began a bid from the four path coming around the turn and improved position in the stretch. NENAS STAR dueled between horses up the backstretch, continued to battle while saving ground around the turn and gave way in the lane. CLOUD KISSES brushed with the horse to her outside at the break, trailed the field up the backstretch, swung out to the four path coming around the turn and improved position from there. GRENACHE raced in the middle of the pack on the inside early, navigated the turn from the three path and was outkicked in the stretch. R SKYLINE chased the leader on the inside up the backstretch, continued around the turn in the three path and weakened in the lane. BABY GUN bumped with the horse to his inside leaving the gate, raced off the pace on the outside for the run up the backstretch, came around the turn in the two path and never threatened. MONEY RULES dueled on the outside up the backstretch, continued to battle from the three path around the turn and faded in the stretch. SOUL STEALER pressed the pace on the inside through the opening quarter, dropped back while racing in the two path around the bend and continued to tire from there. BLACK FLY raced off the pace on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the bend and made no bid. CATS GONE ESTRAY brushed with the horse to her inside at the start, settled in the middle of the pack between horses for the run up the backstretch, came around the bend in the four path and was empty in the lane.
