Chart notes

SWEET RIVER BAINES led the way on the inside up the backstretch, navigated the turn from the two path and held clear while drifting mildly in the lane. RED LEADER pressed the pace on the outside early, navigated the bend from the three path and chased on to the finish. RUNNINGINTHERAIN raced off the pace on the outside up the backstretch, came around the turn in the four path and improved position in the lane. BLAZING TO GOLD stalked the leader on the outside through the opening quarter, continued around the bend in the three path and was outkicked in the stretch. PANUCO raced off the pace on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the bend and made no bid. COYSTER tracked the leader on the inside up the backstretch, saved ground around the turn and tired in the stretch.
