Chart notes

WILDCAT COUNTRY dueled inside of WIZARD OF YESTER through the early stages, maintained position when joined by a third rival leaving the quarter pole, turned back all challenges from that point, and held firm in the late stages to prevail. MR LIAM AND ALAN settled off the pace early, moved up late on the turn to bid for the lead approaching the quarter pole, had every chance but hung and was never able to get to the winner. WIZARD OF YESTER broke outward at the start, making light contact with COUNTRY CHOICE, moved up after the start to press the pace in the who path, was then joined to the outside by MR LIAM AND ALAN, vied between foes through the lane, then weakened in the final yards. PEA EYE raced three-wide to the stretch angled towards the rail in the stretch and finished well, but was not really making up any ground. VELOCITY STORM steadily dropped back after the start and was never involved. COUNTRY CHOICE took a light bump at the start, shuffled back a bit, then was the inside horse in the second pair, well off the pacesetters, then faltered in the stretch.
