Chart notes

RATIONAL THEORY stalked the dueling leaders in the three path, loomed up in hand to bid passing the quarter, made a sweeping move to take command turning into the lane, came under pressure passing the three-sixteenths pole, and kicked away. CALI CREAM vied for the lead along the rail, came under pressure passing the quarter, got overtaken by the winner at the top of the stretch, kept on before flattening around the sixteenth, but held place. DARING MADISON tracked inside of rivals from the two path, was coaxed midway around the turn, angled out passing the quarter, swung from the five path into the lane, and was along for show. YES JULIA dueled for the lead in the two path, was cued between foes passing the quarter, but yielded in the stretch. MANCUSO bumped with an outer foe passing the five-eighths pole, chased in the two path, was ridden from the rail around the turn, but weakened. FRAUD ALERT bumped with an inner foe at the start, then bumped with the same inner foe around the five-eighths pole, raced off the pace, was pushed along from just off the rail around the turn, but did not factor. WICKED ONE bumped with an outer foe at the start, then bumped between foes passing the five-eighths pole, trailed early, was urged along the inside around the turn, but did not threaten. MCSNIPER raced in midpack from the four path but was empty entering the stretch. KAYBELLA had a slow start, chased in the five path, was ridden around the turn, swung from the seven path into the lane, but never menaced.
