Chart notes

WASHTON stalked along the inside, paused behind the top pair entering upper stretch, took rail aim leaving that station, but was jostled into tight quarters by the leader while attempting to slip through at the furlong grounds, recovered and managed to forge even term at the sixteenth pole, battled while bumping late and prevailed via a head-bob. STORM DIVA set the pace as an outer rival applied firm pressure, moved to the two path while maintaining an advantage in upper stretch, jostled an inner bidder at the furlong grounds, bumped with that one while dueling late and narrowly missed. BEE CRAZY chased from the three path, moved out to the five path in upper stretch, ran on in the final furlong but needed more. EXPRESS SUCCESS prompted two wide, vied in the three path in upper stretch, sustained his bid to the sixteenth pole then yielded late. LET HER FLY broke a beat slow, raced off of the pace in the two path, saw the rider lose his crop while shifting out to the six path at the sixteenth pole then stayed on willingly. ESTARDOTOO broke slowly then steadied between horses soon after the start, lacked speed in the three path and failed to factor. HIGH CLASS BROAD broke a step slow, lagged behind in the two path and got outrun. THE RIDER OF STORM DIVA CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST WASHTON ALLEGING INTERFERNCE IN THE FINAL FURLONG. FOLLOWING THE OBJECTION, AS WELL AS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY, NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE ORIGINAL ORDER OF FINISH.
