Chart notes

MADAKET ROAD vied two wide and between horses early on, then only with his outer counterpart while remaining a path off of the inside around the turn, shook free as an inner pursuer took aim in upper stretch then held well. TAP ME A SONG vied for the lead with an outer pair early on, backed off to stalk into the turn, took aim inside of the well-traveling leader in upper stretch, sustained pursuit of that one through the final furlong but was kept at bay and proved second best. TOM CAT TUESDAY brushed with an inner rival leaving the gate, raced off of the pace in the three path, tracked in the four path around the turn then stayed on to edge show late. IMAGINE JOHN was bumped by an inner foe at the start, vied three wide early on, then only outside of the eventual winner while kept in the three path around the turn, proved no match in upper stretch then lost show late. EDITOR brushed with an outer rival at the start, raced off of the pace along the inside, shifted to the three path around the turn then failed to factor. GHOST TALES broke outwardly and bumped a foe at the start, trailed in the four path and never got involved.
