Chart notes

NICHE established the front with six furlongs to go and showed the way in hand along the inside patiently handled, came under light coaxing just outside the quarter pole and took the inside route into upper stretch, edged clear and was ridden out to the finish. DIVINE INTENTIONS coaxed from the gate, chased two to three wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths marker, spun three wide into upper stretch, ran on to secure the place honors. GENA B broke out at the start, chased five then four wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, cornered five wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. PRINCE OF BROADWAY broke out at the start, chased five to six paths off the rail down the backstretch before tucking four wide through the turn coming under coaxing three furlongs from home, tipped four to five wide at the head of the stretch, offered no rally. LAW SCHOOL chased just off the inside under urging from three furlongs out, angled six wide into upper stretch, trailed throughout.
