Chart notes

NORWEGIAN WOOD bumped with the horse to his inside at the start, raced in the middle of the pack on the outside up the backstretch, began a bid from the six path coming around the turn and kicked clear in the lane. MOLLY THE GREAT raced off the pace on the inside through the opening quarter, swung out to the eight path coming around the bend, began a bid entering the stretch and gained ground late. CAJUN HOTTIE tracked the leader on the inside through the early going, navigated the turn from the two path, dueled in upper stretch and chased on to the finish. CHOOSE YOUR WORDS raced in the middle of the pack on the outside up the backstretch, came around the bend in the seven path and improved position in the lane. SAGCY bumped with the horse to his outside leaving the gate, raced off the pace up the backstretch, swung out to the nine path coming around the turn and passed tiring horses in the stretch. SISTERLITHIC veered out at the start, recovered to duel on the inside early, saved ground around the turn and weakened in the final furlong. KIONA tracked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the turn from the four path and faded in the lane. PRINCESS FORTRESS raced in the middle of the pack on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the bend and made no bid. CALADESI ISLAND dueled on the outside through the opening stages, came around the turn in the three path, raced into traffic entering the stretch and tired from there. EZ YOURS raced in the middle of the pack between horses up the backstretch, navigated the turn from the five path and was empty in the stretch. DIAMONDINTHEDARK chased the leader between horses up the backstretch, saved ground around the turn and tired in the lane. FASHION MOLL trailed well behind the field throughout, continued around the turn in the two path and was never a factor.
