Chart notes

HEDGE was never far back, raced inside, rallied into the turn, closed willingly, got up late and won going away. CLEARLY STARDOM set a pressured pace, responded when challenged to duel past the sixteenth pole, was outclosed and all out for place. ANALITICO rallied along the rail, challenged into the turn, dueled past the sixteenth pole, was outfinished and settled for show. TEJAS trailed the field, found his best stride late and improved position. METALLIC MISCHIEF was slow early, bid off the rail and came up empty late. E Z WORDS was crowded into the turn, bid willingly to get within range and hung late. RIGHTEOUS STAR lacked a bid in an outside trip and was not a threat. HIGHSTAKES HUSTLER was outrun in an outside trip. RANCHO vied early, stopped into the turn, was eased and walked off.
