Chart notes

SHOWTIME MATINEE hustled leaving the gate, assumed early command then dictated terms to the turn, set a solid pace to the quarter marker, held foes at bay into upper stretch while off of the rail, kicked clear into the final sixteenth and held sway to the wire. PATERNO stumbled badly at the start and was last away from the gate, advanced outside of rivals into the turn, shifted to the rail into the bend then gained ground nearing the furlong marker, could not make headway on the winner into the final sixteenth but held well late for second. BEJUCO unhurried in the early stages and trailed into the turn, swung widest to upper stretch, closed willingly into the final sixteenth and just missed for second, while holding safely for third. ARTIST MARK prominent early, chased the solid pace into the turn, was held at bay into upper stretch, could not find the needed response in the final furlong and weakened late. BUZZ ADAMS bobbled then squeezed leaving the start, settled in the second flight early on then tracked the solid pace two wide approaching the quarter, chased three wide into the stretch, could not find more into the final sixteenth and flattened out late. ROBERT'S MOON off a bit slowly leaving the start, settled in the second flight early on, dropped back along the turn, saved ground to upper stretch and advanced to the furlong pole but could not threaten the leaders in the final sixteenth.
