Chart notes

RUNWAY SHOWSTOPPER broke sharply, vied in the three path, bid near the eighth pole and lasted under a steady drive. TIVA was bumped at the start, stalked the pace in the four path, rallied late and missed. ATHENAEUM was bumped at the start, stalked the pace in the four path, bid on the turn and faltered in the stretch. IT'STHEONLYWAYTOGO vied inside, came in near the eighth pole, bothering a rival, and faded. TAPIT CHARM saved ground, bid in early stretch and was checked near the eighth pole. KATHI'S GIRL broke inward and saved ground to no avail. CHERRY PINK saved ground to no avail. SO SALTY vied between rivals, gave way on the turn, pulled up and returned home in the equine ambulance. FOLLOWING AN OBJECTION BY THE TRAINER OF TAPIT CHARM ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH, THE STEWARDS DISQUALIFIED IT'STHEONLYWAYTOGO AND PLACED HER FIFTH.
