Chart notes

SUNSET STORM broke well then took a stalking position in the three path, moved up keenly in hand to press the leader leaving the bend, tugged the rider forward to head LEVON and duel up the backstretch, battled through the far turn, put a head in front in upper stretch, dug in through the final furlong and gamely prevailed. LEVON broke a step slow, rushed up inside to take the lead and cleared for a bit on the first turn, took pressure from SUNSET STORM then dueled with that rival up the backstretch and far turn holding a slim advantage, lost the lead in upper stretch, fought back through the final furlong and came up just short in the end. UPSTART YANKEE tracked the top pair from inside, asked around the far turn, chased within striking distance down the stretch but finished evenly late. NORTHERN QUEST stalked the leaders in the two path then outside UPSTART YANKEE, dropped back under urging on the far turn and had little left for the stretch.
