Chart notes

TIZTASTIC trailed in the two path, advanced in the three path and between horses turning for home, loomed a danger four deep reaching the lane, fanned out to the six path while bidding into upper stretch, dueled with an inner foe through the final furlong and edged past. GOULD'S GOLD stalked in the three path, bid entering the lane, gained an advantage while moving out to the five path as an outer foe menaced in upper stretch, dug in and dueled with that bidder thereafter but was bested. WELAKA raced off of the pace in the three path while coming under coaxing around the first turn, trailed under urging around the far turn, moved out to the five path entering the lane then ran on between horses. TIMEOUT settled near the inside, shifted out to the four path entering the backstretch, fanned out to the five to seven path into upper stretch and failed to menace. BERNIN HOT brushed with an inner foe at the start, set the pace along the inside, got headed by outer rivals in upper stretch and gave way. ADMIRAL DENNIS brushed with an outer foe leaving the gate, stalked along the inside, moved to the two path at the five furlong pole, bid outside of the leader along with an otuer rival reaching the lane, but got outkicked entering it and faded. TENNESSEE LAMB raced forwardly two wide and between horses, took back with six furlongs to go, chased then faded in the two path around the far turn.
