Chart notes

BABBLE hugged the inner rail on the first turn, took the lead entering the backstretch, opened up on the far turn and held sway under steady encouragement. BREWMASTER , rated behind horses approaching the first turn, moved to the inner rail near the three eighths pole, remained along the rial in the stretch and rallied nicely. FLY NOW bumped with MERGING TRAFFIC leaving the starting gate, raced in the three path on both turns, moved to the two path for the stretch run and rallied. WICKED BOSS , kept in the two path the first turn, saved ground the far turn, eased out in upper stretch, was well placed but weakened. RAGMAN , four deep the first turn, circled the far turn three wide and failed to rally. RAGS TO LACE , outside horses down the backstretch, chased the winner around the fa turn and gave way. MUTHABIR , squeezed back leaving the starting gate, was outrun. BOLD LICORICE was outrun. MERGING TRAFFIC , bumped at the start, swung wide in upper stretch and was not a factor. JAKE'S AFFECTION , kept in the two path on the first turn, chased the winner and faltered.
