Chart notes

REDHEADED REBA was hard to load behind the gate, stalked three wide into the turn, drew alongside the leader around the bend, grabbed the lead in upper stretch, cleared midstretch and held safely over the runner-up. TAKING A JOY RIDE raced up close on the inside, roused late on the bend, moved to the two path in upper stretch, finished willingly but had to settle for second best. ZADRA stepped to the front and showed the way up the backstretch, led two wide into the turn, moved to the inside and took pressure from REDHEADED REBA, maintained command into the lane, lost the lead in upper stretch and flattened to third. KOOL MARIAH was off a length slow to begin, chased between rivals early, moved forward between another pair, rounded the bend two to three wide and flattened down the lane. CHRISTA MCAULIFFE was off slow from inside, ran up on heels and checked past the half-mile pole, raced on the inside into the turn, moved off the fence around the bend, came three wide into the lane and tired. GOJE chased off the rail then outside rivals, lost ground three to four wide on the turn and tired. BACKSTAGE DRAMA dropped back early, saved ground through the turn and failed to menace. AMOR SECRETO rubbed the gate and came away slow, trailed well off the inside, went four wide into the turn, angled down to the two path and was never a factor.
