Chart notes

JEAN VALJEAN showed good speed from the gate and took early command, set the pace to the turn, kicked clear to upper stretch, drew off into the final furlong then was geared down late and won while in hand. FLAMINGO WAY bumped between rivals and crowded leaving the start, settled between foes to the turn, gained ground two to three wide nearing the top of the lane, ran in pursuit while four wide at mid-stretch, was no match late for the winner but held safely for the place. UNCLE DAR settled outside while never far back, tracked three to four wide into the turn, chased JEAN VALJEAN to upper stretch, couldn't keep pace with the winner into the drive, yielded to the top pair late and held for the show. FORE HARP bumped at the start then settled along the backstretch, caught in tight and steadied approaching the turn, advanced between runners nearing the quarter marker, chased into the lane then lacked the needed response to deep stretch. FIERCE AND STRONG tracked the early pace between runners, shuffled back into the turn, coaxed three to four wide to the quarter pole, no late response. KALAHARI NOT SORRY settled inside, got caught in tight and checked on the run to the turn, trailed to upper stretch and failed to threaten. TALENTED MAN chased the early pace from between rivals, ran in pursuit from the two path nearing the quarter marker then weakened. SHOWTIME MATINEE chased from inside, dropped back nearing the quarter marker, lost action late in the stretch, fell after crossing the finish, walked onto the equine ambulance following the race and was vanned off.
