Chart notes

WHAT A GIFT settled on the inside, gained up the backstretch, angled out at the five-sixteenths pole, came four wide into the stretch, reeled in the leader at the five-sixteenths pole and drove clear. MOTHER'S PRAYER stumbled sharply leaving the gate, tucked inside at the back, moved off the rail on the backstretch, went three wide into the far turn, traveled five wide turning for home, put in a late run and gained second. SMILING JOJO dueled from inside, cleared midway up the backstretch, threatened again at the seven-sixteenths before moving clear again, continued unchallenged to the eighth pole, got run down at the sixteenth pole and edged for second. LEVON sent early to duel from outside, lost touch with the leader for a bit midway up the backstretch, re-bid at the seven-sixteenths pole, failed to keep up past the three-eighths marker, went three wide into the lane and churned on for a minor award. UPSTART YANKEE laid off the pace two to three wide, ran in the two path on the far turn and failed to rally. SMARTY NOSE tossed his head leaving the gate but still came away with the field, crept closer on the backstretch, stayed off the rail on the far turn, came four wide into the lane and never responded to urging. SUNSET STORM tracked three wide to the far turn, moved out and came five wide into the stretch and weakened. NORTHERN QUEST unhurried in the early going, traveled two to three wide on the turns and was never a factor.
