Chart notes

COUCHES BURNING showed good early speed, set the pace racing with a clear lead, raced off the inside turning for home, responded to some mild hand urging, then drew off in hand and widened on his own. ROYAL MERIT chased close up two wide early, chased on the turn, finished evenly and was clear for place honors. JOHNNY BAY GOODE was off slowly, outrun early, moved up outside on the turn, came four wide into the lane and rallied mildly outside. HILLSBOROUGH EIGHT bobbled at the break, chased close up early on the inside, chased on the turn and weakened. IRISH INDYGO broke awkwardly and was off slow, outrun early, saved ground on the turn and failed to threaten. HURRICANE JERRY was outrun early and passed tired foes. SKYRUSH raced off the rail, off the pace, chased on the turn and lacked a response. IT'SALLJUSTADREAM chased inside and gave way.
