Chart notes

VIBE tracked the pace three deep, took over entering the stretch, repelled the challenge of PRAETOR inside the furlong marker and drew clear. BULLARD stalked the pace, came four wide, was unable to menace the winner, but churned on through traffic to earn the runner up spot. WHO DEY broke slow, was unhurried into stride, looped into the stretch six wide, finished well and was up late to garner the minor award. PRAETOR settled in hand, launched a bold bid ranging up five wide, but flattened in the final furlong. VAMOS CARLITOS was hard to settle in traffic, steadied hard in tight quarters near the seven-sixteenths pole, altered out to find room and advanced between foes. JOHN HANCOCK sped clear to set the pace, was headed leaving the turn and gave way. ATTACHE contended between horses through the turn and faded. KEEWAYDIN was allowed to settle, moved up five wide through the turn into striking range, but failed to sustain the drive. SPECIAL CALIBER unhurried, angled out finished with a belated improvement. ARRO SMASH saved ground to no avail. RACING DRIVER passed the tiring ones. COMPORT was forwardly placed along the inside to the stretch and retreated. ALEMAN was hustled along between rivals to the turn and dropped out. MITOCHONDRIA showed little.
