Chart notes

GALATINA required an in-paddock shoe repair, stalked from the three path and between horses, took aim entering the lane in the four path, sustained her bid and drove past in the final furlong. KOPIANA bumped with rivals on both sides at the start, vied three wide, led nearing the lane, dug in to meet an outer challenge in upper stretch, gamely battled with that one thereafter but got bested. BLASPHEMOUS RUMORS stalked along the inside, awaited racing room turning for home, shifted three wide entering the lane, moved back to the inside while running on in upper stretch and was best of the rest. QUEEN MCKINZIE pursued from the three path, progressed four wide and between horses entering the lane then stayed on mildly to hold fourth. LEXI'S MELODY settled along the inside, swung six wide in upper stretch then ran on to be denied fourth. CRYSTAL FROST brushed with an inner foe at the start, raced close up four wide, chased floating five wide entering the lane and faded. COCOA NIMBUS was bumped between horses and steadied back at the start, trailed in the two path, altered out to the six path into the lane and failed to factor. OLYMPIC STAR vied for the lead with an outer pair around the turn then faded approaching the lane. LET 'ER SIZZLE was bumped between horses and shuffled back at the start, raced off of the pace in the four path, fanned out seven to eight wide into upper stretch and tired. RAGING CURRENT bumped an outer foe at the start, vied two wide and between horses then weakened turning for home.
