Chart notes

SPRINGER had the rail from the onset tracking the engaged duo in the early stages, waited patiently on the fence behind the leader in midturn, scraped paint rallying up the rail in the stretch drive at the furlong pole and got up in the final few strides for the late running win. BIG LEW dueled on the inside along the backstretch, edged away taking sole ownership of the lead on the fence at the midpoint through the turn, had the two path holding on up front midway down the lane with the field coming on in every direction, still was up top looking for the wire with at the sixteenth pole but was just nabbed on the inside late for the win by his stablemate while lasting at the wire for the place share in a flurry of a finish. ALFRED BELLOWS was brushed by the inside rival on the start, trailing the group along the backside, saved all the ground still at the rear in the turn running, shifted to the two path uncorking a run and surged between horses late in deep stretch to get the show money. FILM ACADEMY broke out slightly at the start, had a stalking role ahead of only one runner down the backside, made little movement around the bend, shifted out three wide at the quarter pole commencing a rally, swung out widest in the five path taking the corner and finished up gradually outside foes in a compact finish just missing the nod for the third place share. LEMON TWIST narrowly had the front end outside down the backstretch, lost the lead inside by the five sixteenths pole, angled three wide in upper stretch with runners on either side still in the hunt, was closing in with the rest of the field in the final furlong but it was not enough at the finish line. GUN COURT travelled in the second flight outside, took closer order three wide through the oval making a bid outside at the quarter pole, shifted to the four path with the field spread across the track at the top of the lane but was outkicked in a blanket finish at the wire.
