Chart notes

QUIET WISDOM settled under a rating hold two to three paths off the inside down the backstretch in behind the leader, tucked inside near the seven-sixteenths marker, came under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go and spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive rallying and trading a brush with EXPENSIVE CUT before splitting foes in the final jumps to get up on the wire and score. SAGAMORE MISCHIEF coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand just off the inside and then along the inside coming under a ride near the quarter pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under threat from a pair of rivals and was caught in the last strides to the finish. EXPENSIVE CUT coaxed from the start, raced along the inside under a firm hold early on before being extracted from that position to tip three then four paths off the rail down the backstretch latching on the aforementioned foe to prompt him from the outside, tucked to the two path into the turn and came under coaxing near the quarter pole intensifying the pressure, swung four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and traded a brush with QUIET WISDOM near the sixteenth pole, ran on well clear of the rest for the show honors. SHIPSATIONAL chased along the inside and then just off the inside under urging from three furlongs out, spun two to three wide for home and improved position to the wire. WAR MASTER five paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn coming under urging with five-sixteenths to go, angled five wide at the head of the stretch and weakened. SMILENSAYCHEESE chased five then four wide under urging from three furlongs out, tipped five to six wide at the top of the lane, weakened in the stretch.
