Chart notes

PURRRFECT RHYTHM forwardly placed while behind the dueling leaders three wide through the first turn, joined that pair from the outside before a half, vied through the final turn, held a slim advantage when straightened for home, long drive to the finish, fully extended to prove bet. WISE VERDICT away in good order, set or forced the pace through some leisurely fractions, continued to battle into and through the stretch, proved stubborn to the end while remaining closest to the inside. SYVESTAR behind the pace while outside early, continued to pursue the lead pack the middle half mile, came four wide for the drive after angling out a bit, staged a mild rally while widest, in time for the show. PICASSO BABY dueled up front outside through the runner up through those soft fractions, between foes through the second bend, weakened in the drive. GOBOT stumbled badly at the start, unseated rider. FOLLOWINIG A STEWARDS' INQUIRY REGARDING THE START, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
