Chart notes

WHISKEY NOT WINE easily made the lead without really being asked, rated nicely a length or so clear of the closest pursuers, then was set down at the quarter pole, and responded with a strong finish and held clear to the wire. WOW THAT'S HOT settled in a stalking position along the rail behind WHISKEY NOT WINE, allowed that one to dictate terms up front, then gave futile chase through the stretch as that rival got first run, and had to settle for second. TAP THE DOT was not asked for speed from the start, settled at the rear of the field, started a run on the inside through the far turn, came off the rail in mid-stretch to the three-path, and rallied to get third. RED MOUNTAIN went three-wide into the first turn, then four wide into the stretch, finished well, but could not get to the winner. TEAM LEADER settled three-wide near the rear, moved up in range of the leaders on the turn, then was outfinished in the final furlong. SUMMER LOVER settled along the rail in the back half of the field, well off the pace, saved ground, and lacked a rally. BIG BERNIE raced close up three-wide, then was outkicked through the stretch.
