Chart notes

PREPPED raced three wide along the first turn, swung into the six path path entering the lane, drifted out a bit under left handed urging, rallied down the lane, was rolling late then drove past the leader and cleared the field in the final stages. POWELL RIVER set thw pace early on from near the rail, raced in the two path entering the lane, clung to a short lead near the eighth pole while under a long drive and yielded late in the drive. ROYAL GUARD raced in the five path along the first turn, was in the four path into the lane, made a bid down the lane and was up for show late. CASH BONUS sralked the pace early on, raced in the three path into the lane, made a bid near the eighth pole but hung in the late stages. GRANDE SORPRESO tracked the pace early, raced in the two path into the lane, made a bid in the stretch while near the rail and flattened out late in the drive. CLARK'S CORNER raced three wide along the first turn, was in the four path into the lane and leveled late in the stretch run. CULTURE WAR was bumped and bothered after the start, raced in the two path along the first turn, was in the four path into the lane and improved position down the lane. WAR AND MAJESTY was bumped after the start, raced between horses along the first turn while being checked, was again checked along the backstretch and into the far turn, weakened down the lane. EXECUTIVE was bumped and squeezed back after the start, raced in the three path along the first turn and fanned into the seven path entering the lane. FLICK came out after the start, raced in the three path along the first turn and was never a factor. TIMAYYYY raced in the five path along the first turn while well placed, stayed in the five path entering the lane and faded down the lane. BRIDGESONG raced along the inside early on, was checked going into the far turn from the inside while through after a half.
