Chart notes

ADGER settled inside with the tracking pair, came out to the three path at the quarter pole to set up a stretch bid, hit the front in upper stretch, and held firm under threat from a pair of rivals on the outside. AMBIGUOUS was unhurried from the break, and the early trailer, made a forward move four-wide on the far then, then six wide into the stretch and finished up well but came up short. UPTOWN TAPPIN settled between horses in the third flight, waited for room late on the far turn, then finished well when clear, closed late but came up short. ELIGIO dueled two-wide to the stretch, ceded the lead in upper stretch, but kept on gamely, but was outfinished in the final stages. CLEMENTS RIDE was the inside horse in the third flight, produced a late bid, bumped a tiring rival in mid-stretch, and was gaining ground but was too late. HASKELLED went three-wide into the first turn, settled there through the middle stages, swung five-wide into the stretch, but was not doing enough in the late stages to threaten. BAYOU BOY set off from the gate determined to get forward position, was joined by ELIGIO to the outside, dueled that one to the stretch, and gave way in the final furlong. FLYING TEX tracked behind the pace two-wide, was always in range through the early stages, came under a hard ride passing the three-furlong pole, and came up empty in the stretch.
