Chart notes

ONTHEWAYJIMMY was urged forward outside, made the lead at the seven-sixteenths, went four wide on the turn, led them into mid-stretch with a clear advantage and held safe. STANCE settled off the pace, switched out at the half, went two to three wide on the turn, kept on in the lane and was second best. TOWER GROVE PARK bumped with a rival at the start, chased in behind off the inside, moved out going four wide into the turn, fanned six wide into the stretch, secured show honors. PLAYGROUND WARRIOR moved to the lead from between runners, was overtaken leaving the backstretch, shifted in a bit on the turn, ran on but needed more. TRUIST got away well with a brief early lead but was soon overtaken, switched outside a foe nearing the quarter pole to be two to three wide and between, ran on evenly. BABY I'M HAMMERED was bumped at the start, chased from outside not too far back going five to six wide on the turn, failed to rally. SOMETHINTOBELIEVEN bumped with a rival at the start, chased inside, came off the rail for the stretch run, was not a threat. LAST RETURN attended the early pace up close three to four wide, weakened. MOVE IN SILENCE bumped a rival then was in tight at the start, raced well back off the leaders, floated eight wide into upper stretch, failed to menace. CHEF RAY WILEY was outpaced racing outside at the rear, shifted in on the turn, made no bid. J J'S SOLUTION broke a step slowly, trailed, was off the rail on the turn and not a factor.
