Chart notes

SABINO CANYON pressed SOUTHERN MELODEE from outside early, three deep on the backstretch, came under a ride still three deep on the far turn, lost touch with START THE RIDE briefly midstretch, came back on with a furlong remaining and bested START THE RIDE in the last sixteenth. START THE RIDE stalked in the three path around the first turn, moved up inside the leader on the backstretch, put a head in front fighting with outer pair on the second bend, inched away briefly from SABINO CANYON midstretch, confronted by that rival again at the eighth pole and yielded grudgingly. FIONELLO got squeezed back early, reserved in the four path, followed in range two then three wide on the far turn, angled out approaching the stretch and finished willingly to earn the show honors. SOUTHERN MELODEE showed the way in the two path around the first turn with SABINO CANYON to the outside, joined by START THE RIDE up the inside on the backstretch, fought on even terms into the far turn, relinquished the lead to START THE RIDE, fought back around the bend, yielded in upper stretch and weakened in the final furlong. FUEGO DEL SOL stalked four wide on the first turn, continued wide in the middle stages, fell back to last while traveling three to four wide on the far turn and tired in the lane.
