Chart notes

NEW YORK SPECIAL moved from the hedge to the two path on the first turn, was reserved off the pace, drafted in the two path on the far turn, was asked with room at the quarter-pole, made a bid inside of the runner-up in upper stretch, dueled inside of that foe to the finish and gamely prevailed. MORNING PRAYER was hustled from the gate and established a forward position, dropped from the three path to the two path on the first turn, stalked the pace on the outside, turned up the pressure in the two to three path on the far turn, was asked near the quarter-pole, dueled outside of the winner in the stretch and was denied while clear for the place. FACTORY SETTING went around the first turn in the four path, was reserved off the pace, rounded the far turn in the four path while roused, came into the stretch in the six path, swapped back to her inside lead at the furlong marker and improved for the show. AMAZING GRACER bobbled at the start, angled in at the rear of the field, saved ground on the first turn, settled at the rear while outside on the backstretch, was roused in the five then six path on the far turn and improved for the last spot in the superfecta. SOARING SPIRIT was off slow, angled in early, tugged keenly on the bit into the first turn, raced in the three path on that bend, was reserved off the pace, traveled around the far turn in the three path while still under restraint, was asked briefly outside the quarter-pole then paused behind horses, came under urging into upper stretch then angled out and also improved position. ZAP THAT GHOST dropped back early, moved from the three path to the two path on the first turn, was unhurried near the rear, shifted from the two path to the four path on the far turn and lacked the needed response. FORCE OF MISCHIEF broke out at the start, raced inside on the first turn, dropped back under restraint late on that bend and early on the backstretch, raced just off heels with five furlongs to run, saved ground on the far turn, moved to the two path coming to the quarter-pole and failed to impact. NO TIDE was hustled from the gate, became rank in the two path on the first turn, was rated off the pace, traveled around the far turn in the two then three path, spun into the stretch in the four path and failed to threaten. NO NEED TO PANIC went around the first turn in the four path, was rated towards the front, chased in the three path on the far turn and tired. PELICAN PRIDE stumbled awkwardly at the start, became rank under restraint early, tugged hard on the bit in the three path on the first turn, was reserved off the pace, rounded the far turn in the four then five path while roused and failed to rally. COACH OF THE YEAR broke a bit awkwardly then was hustled, saved ground while well placed and rated just off the pace, chased inside on the far turn and came up empty. SAINT MARGARET went to the front, raced off the hedge on the first turn, showed the way down the backstretch, vied inside on the far turn, was asked near the quarter-pole, lost the advantage near the three-sixteenths pole and gave way.
