Chart notes

NIGHTMARE FUEL showed the way in the two path, built a clear advantage around the turn, met an outer challenge turning for home, repelled that foe in upper stretch then held sway. WILL BELIEVE broke a bit outwardly, stalked from the four path, bid outside of the leader at the five sixteenths pole, but was turned away in upper stretch then kept on. CLOUD NUMBER NINE broke slowly, chased forwardly in the two path, moved out to the four path into the lane then stayed on to edge show at the sixteenth pole. ENTICING MOVES laid off of the pace along the inside, advanced two wide into the lane, gained show from outer foes in upper stretch but got outkicked at the sixteenth pole. SILVERTOWN bumped an outer rival at the start, laid off of the pace in the three path, swung seven wide into the lane and moved up. CHIQUITA'S WAY bobbled and was bumped by an inner foe at the start, pursued from midpack in the three to four path, shifted six wide into the lane then lacked any gain on his left lead. CUSP OF MISCHIEF got antsy in the starting gate, lacked speed in the two to three path and failed to menace between horses. SHIDONI broke a step slow, raced at the rear along the inside and failed to factor. FROSTY FOR EVER got floated out at the start, lacked speed in the three to four path and made little impact. GETAHOLDAYOURSELF pressed the eventual winner from the three path early on, chased into the turn then caved through the lane.
