Chart notes

REBALANCING was well placed just off the pace, ranged up in the three path on the turn, made a bid outside the quarter-pole, took the lead into upper stretch, shook clear under one pop of a left-handed crop inside the three-sixteenths pole, switched to a right-handed crop inside the furlong marker, remained clear into the final sixteenth and held under strong urging. TURBO LAUNCH broke out at the start, settled outside under some urging, moved in with about five furlongs to run, angled further in late on the backstretch, was roused in the two path on the turn, moved to the three path late on that bend, came into the stretch in the five path, pursued the winner under a drive while outside into the final furlong, gained on that foe late and missed while clear for the place. PRIVATE FLIGHT broke out and brushed the gate then bobbled, raced at the rear under urging, moved from the inside to the three path on the turn, turned into the stretch in the six path then moved further out and improved with good energy to garner the show. INSTANTLY stumbled at the start but broke with the body of the field, settled off the pace, gained in the three then four path on the turn, was roused at the five-sixteenths pole, chased under a drive into the final furlong and flattened out. BOOTSY'S A RASCAL broke alertly then showed speed, led early then pressed the pace on the outside of THUNDERTAKER, was urged along in the two path on the turn, dropped back under a drive in upper stretch and weakened. THUNDERTAKER was hustled from the gate, moved up under urging to get the lead then set the pace under pressure to his outside, vied along the rail while asked on the turn, lost the advantage to the winner into upper stretch, dropped back while remaining on his inside lead into the final furlong, swapped to the proper lead coming to the sixteenth-pole and tired. GO DHARMA dropped well off the pace, was urged along in the three then two path on the turn, came into the stretch in the three path and failed to threaten. TRUE ADIRONDACKER was hustled from the gate then urged along off the pace, went from the five path to the four path on the turn, dropped back into the stretch then shifted in and faltered then was eased in the final furlong but walked off.
