Chart notes

TIMING DIFFERENCE broke half a step slow, stalked along the inside, shifted to the three path to take aim outside of the clear leader in upper stretch, rallied to bid leaving the furlong grounds and drove past. ATTERSEE set the pace after moving out to the five path early on, tucked down to the three path into the turn, built a clear advantage turning for home but got collared by an outer bidder leaving midstretch, got bested by that one then held place. GAMBLERS TAIL raced at the rear three wide into the turn, advanced around the bend, rallied to gain show from an outer rival in midstretch and needed more for place. FREE ADVICE saved ground off of the pace then ran on willingly. SOCIAL HOUR pressed the leader from the six to four path into the turn, chased that one in the five path into upper stretch and yielded. POLITICS broke a beat slow, raced off of the pace two wide and between horses, retreated to trail into the turn and got outrun thereafter.
