Chart notes

KEEP IT EASY stalked along the inside, bid inside of the leaders and forged an advantage at the quarter pole then inched clear in the final furlong. BIG BOAT came out at the start, showed the way in the two path, got collared between bidders at the quarter pole, headed by his inner counterpart passing that marker, fought on among foes thereafter and gamely held place late. KALAHARI DREAMS pressed the leader from the three path, chased under urging around the turn, bid three wide and between horses at the quarter pole, battled for place through the final furlong but missed. CAN'T HUSH THIS tracked two wide and between horses into the turn, shifted out to the four path with five sixteenths to go, ranged up to bid four deep at the quarter pole but flattened out in midstretch. RISK IT pursued along the inside and failed to factor. BARKSDALE broke a step slow, raced off of the pace in the five path, chased in the four path into the lane, moved out to the seven path in midstretch and yielded. MARKET STREET fidgeted as the gates sprung and broke multiple lengths slow, trailed in the three path to four path and made little impact. CHANGE OF COMMAND tracked from the four path, but faded into the turn, weakened between horses at the five sixteenths pole and was done early.
