Chart notes

WHISKEY LULLABY was away alertly and dueled for command on the outside and raced teo to three wide on the turn, made a bid to be clear by the furlong marker and then was kept to left handed crop to prove best. BESS' CANDY was allowed to settle early, saved ground on the turn and angled out leaving the turn and closed well but was too late. AZAMI chased the pace three wide on the turn and came four wide into the lane and ran on well late. BLAME THE BANKER was reserved early, two wide on the turn and came three wide into the .lane and had a late rally. JEWISH MOTHER dueled inside the winner and weakened in the final furlong. K D KAKES was reserved early and saved ground on the inside but had no rally. QUERCUS broke outwardly and chased the pace on the outside and was four to five wide on the turn and appeared to take a bad step around the three eighths marker and weakened. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
