Chart notes

HARDLY EVER BETTER sent through the chute, vied along the rail around the turn, inched clear leaving the furlong marker, held sway under strong handling. BIG MO GEE chased the pace off the rail around the turn, found best stride split rivals approaching the sixteenth post, dug in gamely for the place. TUN TAVERN lacked speed out of the chute, trailer into the lane, angled out six wide through the stretch, rallied in time to claim the show money. FIBER STRONG broke very slow, tipped out six deep into the lane, running on the wrong lead, evened out missed the show at the line. D HOPPER hard chase four wide into the, under pressure between rivals through the final stages flattened out to the wire. HAPPYFLYER slow into stride, hustled bid between runners into the lane, slipped inside nearing the sixteenth marker, came up empty late. ESTRELLA FUGAZ rated along the rail into the turn, roused on cut the corner into the lane, weakened through the final sixteenth. FUNGO FUNGO roused hard out of the chute, vied two wide around the turn, no match from the furlong marker, gave way through the lane.
