Chart notes

BESTFRIEND ROCKET stalked close up along the inside, slipped through to issue a rail bid turning for home then drew off in upper stretch. EXCEL CALCULATOR tracked from the three path and between horses, tipped inwardly reaching the lane, ran on to gain place in upper stretch then held that position late. QUALITY CHIC broke a beat slow, pursued from midpack in the four path, then between horses down the backstretch, yielded around the far turn, yet moved out to the five path in upper stretch and stayed for show while hanging on his left lead. TIME FOR TROUBLE raced at the rear along the inside then ran on to edge fourth late. GREAT ESCAPE pressed the leader form the four path, vied into the far turn before getting outkicked by a rail bidder at the five sixteenths pole, lost place in upper stretch then yielded between horses. KING OF HOLLYWOOD fidgeted as the gates sprung and was off slow, raced off of the pace in the three to five path into the backstretch, progressed into and around the far turn, but flattened out while entering the lane in the six path and tired thereafter. TOP GUN TOMMY set the pace in the two path, got headed between horses turning for home then weakened.
