Chart notes

HELLADIC stalked the pace close up for a half-mile, took command leaving the quarter pole, and went clear in the stretch. BERRY MISCHIEVOUS coaxed to the front from the start, took a short lead into the turn, could not match the eventual winner late, but was well clear of the third horse at the finish. ORE MINE hustled away, moved up to stalk the pace three-wide, finished with good interest but could not run down the top two. MY WIFE IS RIGHT outpaced early, advanced three-wide on the turn, and kept on well to improve position. SUPER BRADY broke on top but ceded the front before the turn, steadily dropped back through the turn, tried to come back, but only passed tired foes. HEZAKOOLKAT raced in the middle of the pack along the rail, had every chance turning for home, but could not sustain the bid through the late stages. OOEY GOOEY CHEWY was outrun and trailed throughout.
