Chart notes

BOSS OF ALL BOSSES moved up to claim a narrow lead in the two path before the first turn, vied for command with FRAN'S STAR up the backstretch and far turn, drew clear in the stretch under right handed encouragement. FRAN'S STAR moved up to press the pace from the inside through the first turn, vied for command with BOSS OF ALL BOSSES up the backstretch and far turn, unable to keep up with the leader down the stretch, just held for the place honors. LASER CLAD broke a bit outward, saved ground to chase the early pace three wide, rubbed shoulders with CAJUN MITOLE in the first turn, travelled between rivals until entering the stretch four wide, made a late drive that just missed the place award. CAJUN MITOLE tracked the pace from the inside, rubbed shoulders with LASER CLAD in the first turn, held position until making a three wide bid at the top of the stretch, got out-finished for any minor awards. GOOD AND STOUT found early placement around the middle of the pack, was a bit rank in the first turn, continued off the pace until swinging out five wide at the top of the stretch but came up empty. WICKED SECRET settled off the pace, trailed briefly in the first turn, advanced six wide up the backstretch, never got close enough to threaten. ALLNIGHT MOONLIGHT was bumped at the start, trailed through the first turn and up the backstretch, passed tiring rival in the far turn, picked off one more foe in the stretch. SIPPIN ON GIN settled off the pace on the inside, ducked out to avoid GOOD AND STOUT in the first turn but bumped into LETMIKEFIGUREITOUT, advanced five wide up the backstretch to track the pace through the far turn, retreated in the stretch. LETMIKEFIGUREITOUT got pinched back at the start, settled off the pace before being bumped out by SIPPIN ON GIN in the first turn, continued off the pace, trailed midway through the far turn, outran.
