Chart notes

SCHWARZENEGGER set the pace along the inside, shook free in upper stretch then held sway under a drive. ROSE RULER brushed between horses after the start, raced forwardly three wide and among rivals, was put in tight into the turn, tracked around the bend, shifted four wide entering the lane, ran on to duel for place with an inner pair in the final furlong and prevailed. DOUBLE TALKER got rank while forward two wide and between horses early on, settled into stalking stride approaching the turn, chased the clear leader in upper stretch, vied for place with an outer pair in the final furlong but missed at the wire. MILITARY CRUISER stalked four to three wide into the turn, chased in upper stretch, dueled for place between horses in the final furlong but got bested. MEGA MAGIC brushed with an inner foe and steadied slightly early on, raced at the rear two wide and between horses, bumped with an inner foe into the turn, remained at the rear around the turn then advanced five wide and between horses in the final furlong. ANCIENT HISTORY broke slowly, raced off of the pace along the inside, shifted out to the six path while between foes in midstretch and stayed on. TATERPIE was brushed by an outer foe soon after the start, raced well back in the four to three path, fanned seven to eight wide in upper stretch and failed to menace. MAGIC BREW raced off of the pace two wide and between horses, shifted four wide in upper stretch and failed to factor. LONG POUR pursued along the inside, moved to the three path in upper stretch and failed to threaten. ABSOLUTELY HOT bumped with an inner foe at the start, stalked along the inside, chased into upper stretch and faded. FRONTIER JUSTICE raced off of the pace in the four path, leaned out to the six to seven path in upper stretch and tired. POPPA ECHO bumped with an outer foe at the start, lacked speed along the inside before bumping with an outer rival into the turn, trailed in the four path, fanned to the eight path into the lane and was eased thereafter.
