Chart notes

NATIONAL CHARTER prompted along the inside leaving the chute, backed off and switched out to the three path to stalk with a half mile remaining, ranged up to rebid outside of the leader entering the lane, drove past coming to midstretch while hanging on his left lead then drew clear before changing over in the final sixteenth. OUR FOREFATHERS showed the way in the three to two path, built a clear advantage approaching the turn, but got collared by an outer bidder entering the lane, was bested by that one reaching midstretch then managed place. MARKET RUNNER broke a step slow, tracked along the inside, chased the top pair from the two to three path in upper stretch and lacked a bid. NOMOLIMBO raced off of the pace in the two path, shifted to the four path entering the lane and failed to menace. SUSAN'S BOY raced off of the pace while hung in the five path around the turn then failed to factor. CIERTO chased in the four path then tired.
