Chart notes

AVALON GIRL pressed the pace four-wide then two-wide through the turn, dueled with that rival through the stretch, and wore down that rival in the last jumps. STRIKE THE BELL dueled inside of a rival from the outset, traded the lead along the way, had the upper hand in upper stretch, finished well under steady handling and urging but yielded the lead in the final jumps. SAY AS I SAY raced in mid-pack and finished evenly to gain the minor award. HOT ROUTE was slow to begin, caught up with the field under a drive heading into the turn, but could sustain the effort in the late stages. RADIO GOO GOO had to be ridden too keep pace while racing four-wide, continued through the turn, then went even-paced through the stretch and failed to menace. HOT PINK raced close up along the rail, came under a ride approaching the quarter pole, and tired in the stretch.
