Chart notes

ABSOLUTE MIRACLE allowed to settle, advanced steadily outside the top pair, was carried out to the seven path by the leader in upper stretch, dug in under right handed urging and was along in time. WE'LL DO IT LIVE dueled for the lead two wide into the turn, gained the advantage nearing the top of the stretch, drifted out to the six path despite right handed urging then couldn't handle the winner in the late stages. CHESS NOT CHECKERS trailed early and finished with good courage three wide. REMEMBER ME stalked the pace outside into the stretch then faded. TIMELY SECRET inside, failed to respond. SPARKLY was no factor. SHARP AZ CAN BE wouldn't load in the gate, battled for the lead along the inside to the top of the stretch and gave way in the final furlong. THE STEWARDS POSTED THE INQUIRY SIGN BUT TOOK NO ACTION.
