Chart notes

CHARLESTON raced four wide early, rallied in the stretch three wide and drew clear late under firm handling. SIMPLY VALID dueled on the early lead, shook clear in the stretch, remained clear in late stretch and was caught near the wire. LILTONYTWOPHONES contended throughout, finished willingly but needed more late. CLASSIC RICHIE well placed on the inside, went evenly late. ROUNDBALL ROCK allowed to settle, failed to menace. MORETHANREADYEDDIE pressed the pace until mid stretch, then weakened. ALL JOKES ASIDE was no threat on the inside.
