Chart notes

GYPSAN broke a step slow, laid off of the pace two wide, inched closer along the inside around teh far turn, shifted three wide in upper stretch, rallied to bid outside of the leader at the sixteenth pole, dueled with that one late and narrowly prevailed. ARGAN got antsy in the starting gate, showed the way in the two path before building a clear advantage near the inside approaching the backstretch, got collared by an outer challenge turning for home, repelled that bidder in upper stretch, dug in once more as an outer GYPSAN bid at the sixteenth pole, battled gamely late but got nailed. CORA'S LEGACY tracked from the three path, got floated four wide while getting outkicked by an inner foe in upper stretch then stayed on mildly. ANIMAL FRIES stalked along the inside before moving to the two path into the backstretch, ranged up to bid two wide at the five sixteenths pole, but was repelled in upper stretch and yielded. NIGHT CRY raced off of the pace, trailed near the two path around the far turn and made little impact.
