Chart notes

CENTAVO settled outside a foe mid-division racing three to four wide on the first turn, moved up wider still at the half, reached striking distance on the far turn again three to four deep, bid at the five-sixteenths, drew clear in upper stretch and extended the advantage under steady handling. FIRST TRUMPET was prominent early then dropped back and switched outside the leader, stalked that one two to three wide through the first turn, moved up to press from outside racing a bit keen early up the backstretch, continued to stalk in range again two to three deep on the far turn, kept on from between runners in mid- to late-stretch and held the place. UNBRIDLED BOMBER exchanged light contact at the start, tucked in settling at the rear inside, saved ground both turns, ran on mildly up the rail but missed second. HE'S GOT THIS settled mid-pack racing near but off the rail, advanced into the far turn, angled out from the three-eighths, was four wide passing the five-sixteenths and gaining on the leaders, came into upper stretch five deep, could not sustain the effort and flattened out. TEXAS RED HOT exchanged incidental contacat at the start, settled outside at the rear, came out further in upper stretch, failed to make a bid. CONFABULATION was urged from the start to make the lead, edged clear and dictated terms kept well off the rail, faced moderate pressure midway up the backstretch, was challenged past the five-sixteenths, faltered in the stretch.
