Chart notes

TRACY ARM travelled three deep outside a couple of runners tracking the lead duo, inched closer going three wide around the oval, pounced four wide at the quarter pole when called upon for more run, battled eye to eye with a stubborn inside leader with a furlong from the wire, edged away slightly by the sixteenth pole and prevailed in the stretch duel with runners bearing down on both sides still at the finish line. WINNING AGENDA was content initially shadowing the pacesetter outside, moved in at the three quarters pole going he d to head up top on the outside, continued to throw it down with the inside rival unrelenting around the turn, had the three path between horses finally getting the better of the inside speed rival straightening out for the drive, gamely braced for the new challenge outs by the winner at the furlong pole,gave way grudgingly with a sixteenth to go but then found something more and tried to counter inside late but was denied and settled for second best at the wire. CLASSIC DISCOVERY was situated outside another having one runner beaten down the back straight, travelled two wide between rivals part of the tail end trio through the turn,, started to make a rally three wide at the three eighths marker, angled out to the five path very much in the mix turning for home, was gaining steadily on the embattled twosome with a furlong from the finish line but simply ran out of ground and came up just shy at the wire outside. SUVARI (FR) settled in kid-division with horses on either side, kept pace just off the dueling pair rating kindly between foes around the bend, shifted to the three path in upper stretch in with a chance for a small share of the prize but could only run on mildly in the final stages unable to threaten the top three late while holding at the wire for a minor placing in the end. SPUN FOR FLATTER had a good set up tucked in on the fence watching the engaged duo, scraped paint in the mix at the five sixteenths pole, had to shift out two wide losing her path with a quarter mile to go and failed to menance, lacking a rally between horses in the final eighth of a mile. KISS ME BABY tossed its head soon after the break seeing the field down the backside, travelled three wide at the half mile marker with the field quite compact while in the back trio on the turn, shifted to the four oath at the head of the Kane but could only manage to pass a couple of weary rivals in the stretch running. MRS. G settled on the inside close to the back end having only one runner beaten down the backside, saved ground through the bend being part of the rear three in the turn running, had the two path at the head of the lane, shifted out abruptly six wide wanting clear run at the three sixteenths pole but had little to show for unable to offer a finishing kick in the final furlong. CANDY COATED was hard held loose up top on the rail in the beginning, had company outside forcing the pace by the three quarters pole,duelled inside throughout the turn, had the two path between foes in upper stretch still in the heat of battle up front, moved to the rail at the quarter pole still fighting on inside but had little left late and folded on the fence with a furlong remaining.
