Chart notes

MASTER OF LIGHT dueled two wide, led in the three path nearing the lane, inched clear in the final furlong and held sway. BOLTAGE stalked along the inside, tipped to the two path entering the lane, ran on to bid for place between horses at the sixteenth pole, dueled with an outer counterpart for that position late and prevailed. ROSE RULER brushed with an inner foe at the start, stalked in the two to three path and between horses, took aim from the four path entering the lane, dueled for place while chasing the clear leader through the final furlong but missed at the wire. JET SWEEP JOE broke a step slow and brushed with an outer rival at the start, saved ground off of the pace, shifted to the three path in upper stretch and ran on to gain fourth in the final sixteenth. MISCHIEVOUS ROGUE leaned out and solidly bumped with an outer rival at the start, raced off of the pace in the three path, swung to the six path entering the lane and moved up. OUR STARRY NIGHT dueled for the lead inside of the eventual winner, yielded to that one in midstretch and faded. I C LIGHT pursued three wide and between horses early on, tracked from midpack in the two path into the turn, moved to the four path entering the lane but lacked a bid. TAP ME A SONG broke slowly yet avoided being pinched in the process, lacked speed in the two path and failed to factor. STAR'S IMAGE bumped with an inner foe at the start, raced forwardly in the four path then faded in the five path entering the lane. STEP FORWARD was bumped between horses at the start, lagged behind along the inside, swung to the seven path into upper stretch and made little impact.
