Chart notes

PUCKSTER stalked the pace, had an early inside bid into the far turn and held safe late under strong handling. RUIZ JUNIOR prompt the early pace setter from the outside and kept on gamely to the wire. BRADFORD dropped back early, had an inside bid and moved up to improve position. DAYS IN DUBLIN (IRE) showed good early foot and weakened the final three sixteenths of a mile. MOR TIGER PAW raced five wide into the upper stretch and never was a factor. ROMANS WORD dropped back early and failed to respond. LONE RYDER showed little. TOUGH TEDDY failed to threaten. This race was originally hand timed and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time available.
