Chart notes

STORY HOUR pulled to the lead on the first turn while under some restraint, slipped away into the stretch while under confident handling, then drew clear in the stretch without really being asked. SECURED pressed the pace between horses in the two-path, then gave futile chase in the stretch to claim the second prize. WORTH CONSIDERING got over to the rail for the backstretch run, tracked close to the early pace, then moved up inside through the far turn and kept on for third. BLAMEITONMIDNIGHT settled at the back but never far behind in the compact field, stayed on along the rail to pass a couple of tired rivals in the stretch. COLORMECAIRO pressed the early pace three-wide, came under pressure approaching the quarter pole, but had no response. NOMORETANLINES was not quick enough to contest the early pace, settled four-wide off the leaders up the backstretch, continued that path through the far turn, then could not close ground in the stretch.
