Chart notes

SUPERCHARGER saved ground off of the pace, progressed nearing the lane, rallied to bid inside of the leaders passing the furlong grounds, gained an advantage at the sixteenth pole and drew clear. SWERVE tracked along the inside, gained shifting four wide entering the lane, bid and led briefly at the furlong grounds, but got outkicked by an inner challenger at the sixteenth pole, battled for place thereafter and narrowly prevailed. COMPREHENSIVE set the pace along the inside, shifted to the three path while getting collared by an outer bidder in midstretch, dug in but got outkicked by an inner foe at the sixteenth pole, dueled for place thereafter but missed. ROYAL CAUSEWAY pursued from midpack along the inside, progressed three to five wide entering the lane but leveled off in midstretch. LIMELIGHT raced close up along the inside, steadied right behind the top pair leaving the three furlong pole, got outkicked between horses after moving three wide entering the lane and gave way. SIGFRID saved ground at the rear, moved ot the three path entering upper stretch and stayed on mildly between horses. MR BOBO settled three wide, floated four wide turning for home before fanning five to six wide in upper stretch, but failed to threaten. IN AMERICA rated at the rear two to three wide, fanned six wide into the lane and failed to factor. BLUEGRASS PIKE pursued from midpack two wide then gave way between horses around the far turn. HEY DEY prompted two wide, faded between horses entering the lane then weakened on his left lead. IRISH MOJO lacked speed two wide and between horses and never got involved. CULPER CODE stalked two wide then faltered between horses rounding the far turn.
