Chart notes

USE ME (IRE) tracked from the three path and between horses, swung out to the six path entering the lane, rallied to bid outside of the leader at the sixteenth pole, flopped back to her left lead and drove clear. EAT HAY RUN pressed two wide, bid entering the lane, dueled while wrestling an advantage leaving upper stretch, led into the final furlong but got caught by an outer bidder leaving the sixteenth pole. TULIP broke a beat slow, pursued from midpack in the three path, fanned out to the seven path entering the lane then rallied to reach show in the final sixteenth. RIVER EMPRESS settled along the inside, saved ground, shifted two wide in upper stretch and ran on mildly between horses. BOURBON STORY brushed with an outer foe at the start, got keen while forward early on before settling into stalking stride around the first turn, chased while moving out to the three to four path in upper stretch then yielded between foes. YAUDACITY set the pace along the inside, battled with an outer bidder through upper stretch, got headed at the furlong grounds then faded. ALLURING BEAUTY saved ground from midpack but to no avail. RULES AND REGS stumbled severely at the start, trailed in the two path, then between foes into the far turn before moving up while hanging on her left lead. JOKE MAKER was brushed between horses at the start, got keen among foes approaching the first turn, settled off of the pace two wide and between horses then failed to factor. ISADORA DUNCAN (IRE) brushed with an inner foe then steadied back at the start, laid off of the pace two wide. MODERN ESCAPE was taken hold of while between horses at the start, lacked speed in the three to four path and never got involved. HIGH STREET PIZZAZ broke slowly, recovered to track in teh four path into the first turn, inched forward and prompted the top pair around the far turn, but drifted to the five path entering the lane and folded between horses.
