Chart notes

BERTA'S STITCH broke in and bumped with a foe then was hustled, saved ground while well placed just off the pace, was asked with a clear opening in the two path at the quarter-pole, rallied to get the lead outside the eighth-pole, swapped back to his inside lead when given one pop of a right-handed crop shortly thereafter, switched to a left-handed crop inside the furlong marker, went back to the proper lead while disposing of the runner-up outside the sixteenth-pole then drew clear under steady handling. GEORGE ST. was hustled to the front, showed the way on the inside, was roused outside the quarter-pole, came under the crop in upper stretch, lost the advantage outside the furlong marker, dropped back into the final sixteenth and was outfinished but well clear for the place. INCLUSIVITY was away awkwardly, settled on the inside, raced under urging late on the backstretch, saved ground through the far turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and lacked the needed response while best of the rest. MOTORCYCLE COP was hustled from the gate, shifted from the three path to the four path early on the first turn, settled outside without cover, was urged along in the three path on the far turn, came into upper stretch in the four path while under a drive and failed to threaten while just up for the last spot in the superfecta. EPIC PRAYER went around the first turn in the two path, settled with cover, was asked while inside to the two path on the far turn, chased into upper stretch and came up empty then just missed the superfecta. GUS'S BOY broke in and hit the gate, raced in the three path on the first turn, settled towards the front with cover, was asked in the three path on the far turn, chased under a drive into upper stretch and tired. TONEACITY broke a step slow, angled in at the rear of the field, rounded the first turn in the two path, was urged along at the back, saved ground on the far turn and was no factor. NO LAW broke in and hit the gate then bumped with a rival while hustled, was taken under a tight hold early, shifted over heels from the two path to the three path early on the first turn and dropped back, settled off the pace, was urged along late on the backstretch, went around the far turn in the four path, turned into the stretch in the five path and failed to respond. BET BOLD stumbled at the start, went around the turns in the two to three path while near the middle of the field, angled out in upper stretch and also failed to respond. EXECUTIVE FORCE showed speed on the outside, prompted the pace on the outside in the three then two path, came under pressure on the far turn, dropped back into upper stretch and capitulated. MO COFFEE was off slow and spotted the front a few lengths, saved ground on the first turn, came out early on the backstretch then settled on the outside, moved from the three path to the five path on the far turn, came into the stretch in the six path, drifted out around the furlong marker and failed to impact.
