Chart notes

MIDNIGHT STORY pressed the pace racing close up two wide, bid two wide on the turn, dueled into the stretch, dug in gamely between rivals in the stretch run and prevailed determinedly. SMITHWICK'S SPICE stalked two wide, bid three wide at the quarter pole, dueled into the stretch, dug in gamely outside to the finish and battled to the wire. REALLY QUICK set the pace on the inside, dueled on the turn, dug in gamely inside in the stretch drive and was outfinished. JUST COMPLY tracked close up on the inside, waited for room behind horses at the quarter pole, angled out in upper stretch and closed mildly. VESPARO raced off the pace with an inside trip and gained mildly on the rail. T V MAN was off a bit sow, raced two wide off the pace, came three wide into the lane and had no rally. LECANTO steadied at the start, raced off the pace, came five wide into the lane and tired.
