Chart notes

EGYPTIAN was hustled from the gate, showed speed then contested the pace on the inside of rivals, vied along the rail while asked on the turn, dueled with COME FULL CIRCLE until near the sixteenth-pole, got the best of that foe at that juncture then drifted out late and just held under strong urging. SOLO JIM chased the pace while well off the inside, dropped back near the nine-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the four path, pursued the dueling leaders under a left-handed crop while remaining on his inside lead into the final furlong, swapped to the proper lead outside the sixteenth-pole, gained into the final sixteenth, drew alongside the winner late but just missed while able to get the place. COME FULL CIRCLE tracked the pace on the outside, made a bid in the four then three path on the turn, was roused at the five-sixteenths pole, spun into the stretch in the four path, dueled outside of the winner until near the sixteenth-pole and was outfinished while well clear for the show. FIRST PITCH was hustled from the gate, pressed the pace down the backstretch, chased in the three path on the turn, dropped back in the five path into the stretch and tired. DROP ME A DIME lost his footing in the hindquarters at the start and was off a step slow, moved to the outside then was ridden along near the rear, angled in around the nine-sixteenths pole, traveled around most of the turn in the two path then dropped near the rail, came back out to the two path into the stretch, had the rider lose his crop into the final furlong and was no factor. RESILIENT HERO was hustled from the gate, disputed the pace on the backstretch, was asked in the two path on the turn, dropped back late on that bend and capitulated. SMALLCHANGEGEEP was a bit awkwardly into stride then dropped back, raced at the rear while ridden along, saved ground on the turn and failed to respond.
