Chart notes

ENDRICK had the top spot narrowly on the outside in the beginning, cleared away in hand getting to the rail at the half, settled into a good rhythm moving very comfortably up front unopposed around the turn, had the two-path opening up further in mid-stretch while not even being asked and pulled away with ease under no urging in the last sixteenth overpowering the field when crossing the finish line for the gate to wire victory. BREAK THE SPELL had to be checked at the start avoiding the troubled inside foe, trailed along the backside, was asked right-handed in midturn closing ground smartly by the quarter pole, swung out widest gathering more speed at the top of the stretch in the six path and finished up strongly outside rivals easily besting the rest for the runners up share while well behind the dominant winner. CIRCLE BACK JACK had only one runner beaten down the backstretch, made no movement two wide through the bend, angled out to the five path getting a clear lane between runners in upper stretch and finished up with intent just getting up at the wire for the third place share outside. ARMSTRONG prompted the early pace on the inside, took back letting the frontrunner go while altering outside at the five eighths marker, was scrubbed on inside chasing two wide through the turn with a host of others in pursuit as well, had the three-path posing the only threat for a fleeting moment at the head of the lane and faltered inside rivals losing a couple of positions in the late going. CLASSIC DANCER stumbled outwards on the break, recouped advancing on the rail down the backstretch when being nudged for more tracking the front two runners by the half, had the rail but could not quicken with rivals being unable to retain forward position inside by the five sixteenths pole, re-rallied briefly scraping paint moving into third straightening out for the drive but could not continue the run and wilted inside by the sixteenth pole. ECHO WITH LAUGHTER settled in mid-division three deep on the outside in the early stages, tried to make a rally circling around horses at the five sixteenths marker, continued in the four-path turning for home but yielded at the eighth pole while staying on the incorrect lead through the drive. CRUCIAL TAUNT had runners on either side while sitting in mid-pack along the back straight, travelled three wide between foes part of the chasing group midway around the bend, remained in the three path in upper stretch but had little to offer in the stretch running and emptied out by the furlong pole.
