Chart notes

J J GREY stalked the pace between foes to the backstretch, loomed nearing the quarter marker, took command into the stretch, drew off into the final furlong and was hand urged to the wire. DIFFERENT GRAVY settled between rivals into the backstretch, chased two then three wide nearing the quarter pole, angled four wide for the stretch drive, was no match for the winner into the final furlong but stayed on to be a clear second best. ARABIA WILD settled to the first turn, saved ground nearing the half-mile marker then maintained a rail trip to the far turn, was caught in traffic nearing the quarter pole, bid between rivals into the final furlong, could not impact the top pair into the final sixteenth but got up in time for third. HIGH GO was forwardly placed in the early stages, tracked the moderate pace three wide along the backstretch, asked for run three wide nearing the top of the lane, vied to upper stretch then was outkicked by the winner nearing the furlong marker, could not find more to deep stretch and was outfinished for third. LUCKY N LAWLESS well placed while saving ground to the backstretch, shifted out then chased two then three wide into the lane, lacked the needed response to the furlong grounds and weakened. COLT FORTY SEVEN was void of early speed and trailed to the half-mile, coaxed three then four wide to upper stretch, ran in pursuit while widest nearing the furlong marker, could not find more to deep stretch and tired. CARDINAL CUSHING sent for the early lead, set a moderate pace to the half-mile, came under pressure nearing the quarter marker, was overtaken into upper stretch and faded in the lane. FAKE SMART settled outside of rivals early on, travelled three to four wide along the backstretch run, was outrun to upper stretch then came up empty in the drive.
