Chart notes

COACH OF THE YEAR dropped from the three path to the two path on the first turn, was well placed just off the pace, came under light urging late on the backstretch, drafted inside on the far turn, was roused while presented a clear opening in the two path into the stretch, rallied to the lead outside the furlong marker, went clear outside the sixteenth-pole and held under steady urging. GANDERELLA brushed with FELIXYN at the start, was taken under a tight hold early, raced a bit off the inside on the first turn, was reserved off the pace, came under urging with just a bit more then three furlongs to run, went around the far turn in the three path, came into the stretch in the five path, chased outside into the final furlong and finished willingly to just get the place. FELIXYN brushed with GANDARELLA at the start, bumped with FIFTY SHADES OF FREE early, settled on the inside, moved to the two path while roused just past the midway point on the far turn, spun into the stretch in the three path then angled out significantly and finished with good energy to just miss the place while clear for the show. ZAP THAT GHOST moved from the rail to the three path on the first turn, stalked the pace on the outside, was asked outside the three-eighths pole, vied in the two path under urging on the far turn, turned into the stretch in the three path, chased into the final furlong and weakened. AMAZING GRACER froze up and was recalcitrant leaving the paddock, moved in behind foes early, became rank off heels and steadied then altered to the outside, accelerated quickly once clear and rushed to the front, dropped to the inside early on the first turn, showed the way through moderate fractions, was asked near the quarter-pole, lost the lead while under the crop in upper stretch and tired. FIFTY SHADES FREE bumped with rivals on both sides early, settled in the two path, was roused on the final turn and failed to threaten. MAGIC IN MY EYES was fractious in the gate, bumped with FIFTY SHADES FREE early, raced in the three path on the first turn, settled on the outside without cover, was roused in the three path on the far turn, came into the stretch in the four path and failed to respond. NO NEED TO PANIC broke in the air and was off slow, went around the first turn in the three path, settled at the rear, was urged along late on the backstretch, rounded the far turn in the two path and faltered then was eased but walked off.
