Chart notes

MY VALENTINO bothered by outer rivals at the start, chased from well off the rail early then challenged five deep, cleared and angled to the three path around the bend and held well over a pair of rivals in the late stages. DRILL EM stumbled then veered in and bumped SGT YORK at the start, traveled near the back keeping well off the fence, picked up stride five then four wide around the bend, moved inward in the lane, closed gamely down the stretch but ran out of ground. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS raced up close outside the top trio then took over leaving the backstretch, got outkicked by MY VALENTINO around the bend, swung out approaching the stretch, finished willingly through the lane but lacked the needed late punch. BUCKEYE MIKE chased four then three wide, swung out late on the bend, kept trying down the lane but could not produce a bid. SGT YORK got knocked into inner rival at the start, raced near the back then trailed outside a rival into the turn, raced four, five then six wide around the bend and improved position down the lane. PLAYFULASITGETS broke in and brushed, fought for the lead three deep early, brushed with inner rival at the seven-sixteenths pole, angled to the inside quickly chasing after the top pair, saved ground to the stretch and weakened. TAKE DICTATION vied from inside up the backstretch, got bumped and checked at the seven-sixteenths pole, dropped back around the bend and could not rally. AGNELLO CITY rubbed the gate and got bumped from outside, trailed on the inside leaving the backstretch, came three wide into the lane and was never a factor. HIDDEN HEART brushed leaving the gate, fought between rivals early, bumped with inner rival at the seven-sixteenths pole, dropped back around the bend after moving to the inside and had little left for the drive. THERE WAS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INVOLVING THE START AND RULED THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE. THERE WAS ALSO AN INQUIRY INVOLVING RIVALS AT THE SEVEN-SIXTEENTHS POLE AND ALSO RULED THERE WOULD NO CHANGE.
