Chart notes

FACENDA hustled away from the break to seize the early lead, was joined by NO AUTHORITY down the backstretch, dismissed that foe passing the half-mile pole only to be taken on by INTERVAL through the far turn, dueled inside of that through the stretch, gained the advantage inside the sixteenth pole, and held clear to the wire. INTERVAL settled inside just behind the dueling leaders, moved up to engage FACENDA at the half-mile pole, dueled outside of that one through the turn, had every chance to pass through the stretch but failed to change leads and hung in the late stages. STRENGTHNGUIDANCE lunged, then threw the head up at the start, spotting the field a few lengths head start, was last early, then steadily improved through the last half to gain the third prize. VIDIANO tracked the pacesetters two-deep through the early stages, was under a hard ride on the turn, drifted out while tiring in the stretch, and was passed late to the inside to miss the board. PAIGE PERFECT made light contact with the inside rival at the break, raced wide on both turns, and never threatened. NO AUTHORITY brushed with PAIGE PERFECT after the start, was a bit rank through the clubhouse turn, pulled the rider to the front while racing three wide, then was done on the far turn and no factor from that point.
