Chart notes

E Z WORDS was last to begin, worked forwardly up the backstretch about two paths off the rail, was blocked behind horses through the turn, then rallied up the rail in the stretch to be along in time. TEXAS HUNK raced three-wide near the back of the field early, made a sweeping move around the turn, to be in range of the leader at the quarter pole, continued to close the gap in the final yards, but came up short. PROMISE ME MONEY dueled outside of a rival to the half, then kicked clear through the turn, held gamely to deep stretch, then yielded late under left-handed urging. TAKE THIS CITY dropped back to last after a level start, chased the field to the stretch, came five-wide and finished up well, just short of hitting the board. SHANGHAI CHARLIE was under coaxing early to join the early pace, backed off to a tracking position, was under a drive from the three-furlong pole, kept on well to be a threat in the final furlong, but could not find the winning late kick. RED DIRT ALLEY pushed to the lead, briefly dueled with PROMISE ME MONEY, clipped back heels with SHANGHAI CHARLIE just before the half-mile pole, dropped off the pace, tried to rally, remained in range to deep stretch but was outkicked in the final yards. CAPTAIN DAKOTA hustled away from the gate but was not fast enough to join the early pace mix, started to lose ground after passing the half-mile pole, and was outfinished in the late stages.
