Chart notes

GUS SWAYZE got in tight quarters around the first turn just behind the pace, took aim at the two path in the far turn to split foes and challenge the lead, dueled with GRAN CAMPANERO down the stretch and dug in for the win. GRAN CAMPANERO broke sharply to assume a ground saving lead, led under pressure from SURFER'S JOY, shook off that one rounding the far turn before meeting a bit from GUS SWAYZE in the upper stretch, locked in battle down the stretch but was bested. SURFER'S JOY saved ground to apply pressure to the early pace setter three wide, allowed passage for GUS SWAYZE rounding the far turn, chased the dueling leaders down the stretch, just held for the show award. RUDI was rated along the inside, showed a mild rally under right handed urging but just missed out on the show honors. BE WISER BOB moved up to track the pace four wide, flattened out in the stretch. HOTTER THAN DEM hopped and bumped into outer foe at the start, trailed for the first half, began advancing along the outside to track the pace through the far turn, weakened in the stretch. RODHAN ran between runners a couple lengths back, backed off the pace in the far turn, showed little in the stretch. GONDORFF bumped by inner foe at the start, raced off the pace in the two path, trailed after half, pulled up in the upper stretch and walked off.
