Chart notes

GOLDEN MAIDEN coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside patiently handled and settled into a comfortable rhythm through sensible splits, cut the corner roused into upper stretch, drew clear under a drive to inside the eighth pole and was geared down in the late stages being taken in hand near the finish. FAVE coaxed from the start, tracked the pace along the inside patiently handled until let out continuing in the inside route into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to secure the place honors by a head. J'RAY'S JEWEL settled tracking the leader just off the inside in closest aim in tandem with the aforementioned foe to her inside, remained patiently handled until set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to be along well clear of the rest for the show honors. SEISMIC ACTIVITY coaxed from the gate, settled just off the inside just off the pace, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, took the inside route into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. MC CRUISER pulled keen early on along the inside and then just off the inside behind rivals under restraint into the first turn, settled along the inside down the backstretch before heading two to three wide through the far turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, angled six wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals to the finish. CREAM OF THE CROP three wide through the first turn, chased three paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the far turn coming under a ride near the quarter pole, continued three wide into upper stretch and weakened. COURSIERE tucked to the two path one mile from home and forced HIGH TIDE HONEY to check off her heels and so too WELCOME ROAD in behind her, chased two to three wide through to the far turn before heading four wide through that bend under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and had no kick. WELCOME ROAD broke in at the start carrying in SARATOGA LAKE a step or two, got checked off the heels of HIGH TIDE HONEY directly in front one mile from home when COURSIERE tucked directly in front of that rival, then got carried out from the two path four wide into the first turn when HIGH TIDE HONEY balked inside and got out to her inside, chased three then two wide coming under a ride three furlongs out, went seven wide into upper stretch and made no impact. MIOS three wide through the first turn, chased three to four wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, swung four wide for home and weakened. CIAO BABY got carried out five wide into the first turn by WELCOME ROAD due to pressure from the balking HIGH TIDE HONEY, chased four then three wide under a ride from the three-eighths pole, went eight to nine wide into upper stretch and made no impact. SARATOGA LAKE got carried in lightly at the break by WELCOME ROAD, chased along the inside under urging nearing the quarter pole, spun three wide into upper stretch and tired. HIGH TIDE HONEY got checked off the heels of COURSIERE forcing WELCOME ROAD to check in behind her one mile from home when COURSIERE tucked directly in front, raced along the inside and balked seven furlongs from home into the first turn getting out three wide and carrying WELCOME ROAD four wide and CIAO BABY five wide, chased four wide under light urging midway on the far turn, went ten wide into upper stretch and made no impact. Please note the quarter mile split was omitted pending review.
