Chart notes

LACK OF RIESLING bumped with an inner rival leaving the gate, vied with an outer foe around the turn, fought on as the duel continued through the final furlong and gamely clung to an advantage. GO NEW YORK GO broke outwardly, vied for the lead with an inner rival while remaining in the three path around the turn, gamely sustained the battle through the final furlong but missed at the wire. BELLEZA LATINA chased close up to the embattled leading pair from the two path around the turn, moved out to the five path in midstretch but lacked any again while proving best of the rest. PRINCESS CHANTY bumped with an outer foe at the start, chased from the two to three path, lacked a bid and held fourth. VALENTINE EVE raced off of the pace two wide and between horses, then failed to menace. BELDEN RUE lacked speed three wide and failed to factor. YOUHADME AT MERLOT broke slowly, trailed in the two path and got outrun. FUEGO SUNSET saved ground off of the pace then tired.
