Chart notes

STONE COLD FLEX , a forward factor inside down the backstretch and around the far turn, found room along the inner rail in the stretch, took command near the eighth pole and drove clear. MAXIMUS MAGIC , not an early factor, remained along the inner rail to the far turn, eased out mid way on the bend, swung to the six path at the head of the lane, drifted out farther in mid stretch and rallied. GUAPONESS sped to the early lead, was kept off the inner rail throughout and weakened the final furlong. STYNER prompted outside, circled the far turn three wide, drifted out steadily in the stretch and weakened. WINTER'S GHOST , three deep on the turns, weakened. CATATUMBO , outrun, was five deep leaving the far turn.
