Chart notes

JUST FOR LUCK tracked the pace along the inside coming under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, took the inside route into upper stretch, rallied to take command nearing the eighth pole, inched away briefly before coming under growing threat to the outside from IRON MAX and held safe to the finish. IRON MAX two then three wide in pursuit, got coaxed along with five-sixteenths to go, swung four wide into upper stretch and was clipped behind by JACK AND JIM attempting to go over his heels, showed good courage to rally and threaten through the final furlong to the finish. MO TRUMP tracked the leader in closest aim just off the inside, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, tipped three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive between foes briefly a furlong out, then weakened in the late stages while along for the show honors. ANNEXPERIENCE coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside coming under urging at the five-sixteenths marker, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under threat from flanking challengers and yielded just outside the eighth pole, then weakened in the late going. CABLE READY bobbled and was bumped in the hindquarters and spun out a bit by JACK AND JIM, chased two to three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, took the inside route into upper stretch and tired. JACK AND JIM broke out brushing the off side stall and then bumping CABLE READY in the hindquarters when away last, saved ground near the rear of the field, began to tip out inside the five-sixteenths marker to be two then three wide nearing the quarter pole, hesitated briefly when unable to continue tipping out waiting IRON MAX to clear and then went to go over the heels of IRON MAX swinging four wide into upper stretch, clipped the back of that rival just after his right front leg was briefly between the back legs of IRON MAX, bobbled heavily and lost the rider straightening away, then got apprehended by the outrider after the finish and walked off under his own power.
