Chart notes

BALKI BARTOKOMOUS was bumped from his inside at the start, pressed the pace two wide, made the lead at the quarter pole, set the balance of the pace, drifted out to the six path under left handed urging in the late stages and prevailed under strong handling. HE'S MY BOY was bumped from his inside and forced into DONALD'S NATION at the start, stalked the pace along the inside, shifted out nearing the top of the stretch, was carried out to the seven path by the winner and got up for second. TAKE DICTATION allowed to settled, rallied outside rivals in the middle of the racetrack but was outfinished. HIDDEN HEART drifted out bumping HE'S MY BOY causing a chain reaction of bumping to his outside, set the pace along the rail to the quarter pole, kept on into the stretch and weakened in the final furlongs. DONALD'S NATION was bumped from his inside into the winner at the start and was through early. THE STEWARDS POSTED THE INQUIRY SIGN BUT TOOK NO ACTION.
