Chart notes

GIOTTO was the inside horse in the four-way scramble for the early lead, backed off before the half, then steadied just after that pole, re-bid three-wide late on the turn, then put in a good late run down the middle of the track to be along in time. LOVE GETAWAY was outpaced early, made a nice middle move to circle the field on the turn, took the lead in deep stretch but was caught at the wire. EV'S SPIRIT was hard to load, then sent from the outside post at the start, gained a clear lead past the half-mile pole, maintained the margin through the turn, then yielded the lead in mid-stretch. AYZEE was outrun through the early stages, trailed far behind, then made up good ground in the late stages to improve. GOLDIE'S MOON hustled away and disputed the pace three-wide between foes, had every chance in the stretch but was not quite good enough in the final furlong. FLY STRONG sent hard from the start, vied two-deep in the early pace mix, remained prominent to upper stretch, then weakened.
