Chart notes

LEILA MAE pressed the pace two-wide, was always traveling well, came into the stretch still in-hand, then responded when set down in upper stretch, gained a narrow advantage inside the furlong marker, and inched clear to the wire. STORM AFTER DARK pushed into the early pace mix, had a short lead down the backstretch, fought on when confronted by LEILA MAE on the turn, continued to duel into the stretch, but was headed in the final yards. CHAMONIX was the distant early trailer, then rallied through the stretch to gain the third prize. SERIOUS ROCK settled inside just behind the pace, swung out four wide into the stretch, lost some ground, and was only mildly gaining in the last stages. SOMAVIA vied between horses early, backed out on the turn, then tried to come back on in the stretch but lacked the needed response.
