Chart notes

SEEKING ACES rated in the middle of the pack early while racing along the rail through the turn then altered course to the eight path in the stretch and rallied to get up in time. STRAIGHT DROPBILLY raced close up between horses and battled through the turn then dug in for the stretch run and held place. MO'Z STAR SAILOR rated in the second flight early then made a steady advance while four wide and ran on late. SABOTEUR rated in the middle of the pack early while getting tucked in into the turn then squeezed through between horses at the 3/16 pole and rallied late. TAUREAN broke sharply and stalked the pace while three wide then drifted out at the 1/4 pole and faded late. KING JULES moved up and contended for the lead while pressed throughout then faltered late in the stretch. SAILOR MIKE rated in the middle of the pack with a rail trip and chased to the turn but just raced evenly in the stretch. LIL J. HENRY rated in the second flight with a four wide trip then made a bid into the stretch but faltered. MAKE ME A DEAL dropped back early before being asked into the turn then angled five wide into the stretch but made no rally. GALLABYE got off slowly and showed no speed then raced six wide nearing the 1/4 pole but was no factor. SEIZE THE PORT settled between horses early before being asked into the turn but had no response. LONESOME KNIGHT was void of early speed and saved ground but was no factor.
