Chart notes

SAINT PETER'S BAY was allowed to settle after the break, moved closer to be in range of the leaders approaching the half-mile pole, bided time behind horses through the turn, then slipped out four wide into the clear for the stretch run and finished best to win going away while drifting out through the final furlong. SCALLYWAG was four-wide in the early pace scramble, backed off at the half-mile pole, lost ground through the turn, swung out five or six wide into the stretch, and found a second wind to rally for the second prize. DUVEE was hustled away and in front in the initial stages, battled inside of rivals down the backstretch and through the turn, gained the lead in upper stretch but was unable to outfinish the closers on the outside, but kept on gamely to save third. RAZOR CREST hopped at the start and was devoid of early speed and trailed far back early, kept on with a steady pace racing in the two to three path, and improved. MUD ON MY BOOTS disputed the early pace two-deep racing between rivals, got a head in front late on the turn, but yielded at the top of the stretch and weakened in the final furlong. TRACK RANGER was under a drive from the start but unable to contest the pace, steadily retreated to be last heading into the turn, chased while still under a drive, moved to the inside and passed tired rivals late. LO LO'S LAUGHTER vied three-deep in the early pace mix, remained a threat to the top of the stretch, then did not respond when put to urging and faded. WHISKEY AND EASY saved ground mid-pack to the stretch, had no late bid. DR. NIKO broke awkwardly, then recovered and raced wide in the tracking group and lacked a finish. DONEGAL MOONSHINE broke slow, chased at the back of the field under a ride, raced three-wide then five-wide into the stretch, and faltered. DEWCLAW raced five-wide and lacked a rally.
