Chart notes

MIDNIGHTLOVEAFFAIR chased two to three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, tipped three to four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command a furlong out, edged away to the finish to prevail. SCORCH broke in at the start briefly carrying in ARTISTIC SUCCESS, chased along the inside under urging from the five-sixteenths marker, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, ran on to secure the place honors. ARTISTIC SUCCESS got carried in briefly by SCORCH just after the start, chased along the inside under encouragement from the three-eighths pole, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch, kept on to the finish. ROCKYTA broke in at the start bumping FIFI LA FUME just after the break, chased just off the inside under urging with five-sixteenths to go, swung three wide into upper stretch and improved position to the wire. FIFI LA FUME got bumped after the start by the aforementioned foe breaking inwards, chased along the inside patiently handled until let out taking the inside route into upper stretch, then passed tired rivals to the end. HEADS IN BEDS (FR) chased three then two wide in closest aim of the leader, got roused spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, flirted with command when overtaken by the top one a furlong out, then weakened through to the finish. LUPINE showed the way lightly coaxed along the inside, got set down taking the inside route into upper stretch, got collared a furlong out and weakened through to the end. Following a shoe repair in the paddock, GRESHAM'S LAW got coaxed from the start, chased four then three wide under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, cornered four wide at the head of the stretch and came up empty. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
