Chart notes

TAKE CHARGE BOO broke a step slowly, rushed up and tracked the early pace three wide and between foes, bid to upper stretch, took command and kicked clear at the furlong pole, kept to task to the final sixteenth, was challenged late by oncoming rivals but dug in and held for the win. BALLYKEEFE off a step slowly, settled off of the early pace while never far back, waited for racing room at the quarter pole, found a seam to upper stretch then coaxed two wide into the lane, was gaining to the final sixteenth, shifted to the inside in deep stretch, missed for the win and held at the wire for second. MUSIC CLARIFCATION close up in the early running, tracked the pace from the inside heading to the turn then got shuffled back at the three-eighths, caught in traffic at the quarter marker, angled four wide to upper stretch, responded well in the drive, was outkicked late for the win and place, well clear of the rest for the show in a good effort. OCTET rated off of the early pace, shifted out to upper stretch then angled widest nearing the furlong grounds, closed the gap in deep stretch but could not impact the top three in the late stages. REGAL MISS LILY tracked the early pace from the second flight and outside of rivals, gave chase four wide into the turn, outkicked into upper stretch, weakened in the drive. SPICY BUBBA was forwardly placed in the early running, tracked the pace along the backstretch while between rivals then went up to press the pace into the turn, vied for the lead at the quarter marker, repelled to upper stretch, could not find more into the final furlong, gave way. HOWDIDTHATWORKOUT broke alertly and took early command, set the pace from the inside heading into the turn, overtaken to upper stretch, faded in the lane. NO ARGUMENT stumbled sharply at the start and spotted the field to begin, trailed to the turn, swung five to six wide to upper stretch, could not muster the needed late response.
