Chart notes

UNBRIDLED VALOR led in the two path and was clear late under a mild drive. UP N UP stalked the pace inside, bid in early stretch but couldn't get to the winner. MIKESTRUMPCARD was steadied early between rivals, raced in the four path, rallied near the quarter pole and gained the show late. FAVORITE STAR vied between rivals early, stalked the pace in the three path and yielded late. TA TA TODAY JUNIOR pressed the pace three wide before giving way in early stretch. BOX saved ground to no avail. GOD AND LUCK was off awkwardly causing Marcelino Pedroza to show his skill in getting back in the saddle, was rank and was eased.
