Chart notes

FROLICKING moved in early and took the inside away from GLOW OF A ROSE, was eased back then settled just off the pace, drafted inside on the turn, was asked in the two path into the stretch, came out a path for room and bumped CHESTNUT just inside the three-sixteenths pole, gained to make a bid under a right-handed crop coming to the furlong marker, took the lead outside the sixteenth-pole then switched to a left-handed crop and prevailed under a strong hand-ride late. GLOW OF A ROSE steadied lightly and briefly when FROLICKING crossed in front early, settled at the rear on the inside, moved to the two path near the nine-sixteenths pole, climbed behind horses nearing the half-mile pole, went around the turn in the two path under light restraint, was roused in the four path into the stretch, bumped twice with CHESTNUT when that for was forced out into her just inside the three-sixteenths pole, rallied outside under a right-handed crop into the final furlong, switched to a left-handed crop outside the sixteenth-pole and gained but missed while clear for the place. POISE bobbled outward at the start, moved up to get the lead after going a sixteenth of a mile, showed the way on an easy lead, controlled the tempo in the two path on the turn, was asked at the quarter-pole then placed under a strong hand-ride, came under a right-handed crop outside the furlong marker, led until outside the sixteenth-pole then was overtaken while clear for the show. CHESTNUT came outward at the start, tracked the pace on the outside, was asked in the three path midway through the turn, chased into upper stretch, was bumped by FROLICKING and forced out into GLOW OF A ROSE just inside the three-sixteenths pole, bumped twice with GLOW OF A ROSE at that point, pursued the leader under a drive into the final furlong and weakened. EPISODIC settled on the outside, was asked leaving the backstretch, went around the turn in the four path, was driven into the stretch in the five path and came up empty.
