Chart notes
FAST CONNECTION tracked close up behind the pacesetters, slipped through an opening near the quarter pole to take the lead, and widened the margin through the stretch under steady handling. CLASSIC SENSATION was last to begin, settled well behind the main pack but ahead of a pair of trailing rivals, threaded around and through traffic from the far turn, made a good late bid along the rail to move up into second while never a threat to the winner. MATCHING FUNDS was not asked for speed from the break, then was held up in mid-pack, moved out to the three-path down the backstretch, advanced to be in range early on the far turn, swung five-wide into the stretch, and finished up well but got outfinished for second. ONGOING CHALLENGE settled off the pace three-wide, was behind horses on the far turn but took advantage of a big opening at the head of the stretch, put in a decent late bid but was not quite good enough. GOLDEN CITY STREET came away unhurried from the start, kept to task late, and improved. HILLBILLY'S HEART was prompted from the break but not fast enough to contest the early lead, settled in a tracking spot along the inside rail, hugged the rail through the far turn, then did not respond when asked to kick on in the stretch. KEOKUK KID got carried out to the middle of the track by LA MOTTA AVENUE going into the first turn, tracked close up down the backstretch, made a bid for the lead approaching the stretch, but once again got carried out wide by the same rival and was unable to recover the lost ground. SUNSET SKIP settled at the back, far behind the rest, and trailed throughout. LA MOTTA AVENUE jumped out to a clear early lead with the rider keen to temper the pace, went a bit wide into the first turn, came under a ride passing the three-furlong pole, tried to bolt on the last turn, and was eased to the finish and walked off.
