Chart notes

EL GRANDE O established a prominent position early, was taken in hand when the pacesetter came in close at the three-quarter pole then switched outside that foe, tracked the pace, was given his cue in the four then three path on the turn then chased the leader, was driven into the stretch in the four path, made a bid while coming out under under a left-handed crop in upper stretch, dueled outside of OVER AND OLLIE into the final furlong then took the lead, responded well while fighting with that opponent into the final sixteenth and just held under strong urging. BE YOU dropped back early then settled well off the pace, moved closer late on the backstretch, was roused while going from the two path to the four path on the turn, came into the stretch in the five path, chased outside into the final furlong, gained into the final sixteenth, made a bid outside of the winner late and just missed while able to get the place. OVER AND OLLIE went to the front, angled in outside the three-quarter pole, showed the way well off the inside, was asked in the three then two path on the turn, came under the crop in upper stretch, led into the final furlong then was headed by the winner, battled with that foe into the final sixteenth and was outfinished while clear for the show. PENTATHLON was forwardly placed on the outside, dropped back late on the backstretch then moved in, was roused while racing from the two path to the four path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and lacked the needed response. ACOUSTIC AVE broke out and was last away then dropped back, settled at the rear, moved closer under urging late on the backstretch, saved ground on the turn and came up empty. WHATCHATALKINABOUT broke out a bit and bobbled, raced just off the pace while moving out in the track, dropped back under urging with a half-mile to run, rounded the turn in the five path, spun into the stretch in the six path and faltered.
