Chart notes

HIGHLY WICKED allowed to settled behind the pace past the wire the first time, in the two path through the first turn, remained within striking distance in the run up the backstretch, saved ground through the second bend, in some traffic when moving a bit closer with a quarter remaining, moved out a bit for room to hit a seam entering the stretch, collared the leader soon after and accelerated clear while kept to pressure. JOJO BEAN took command soon after the start, showed the way through the first turn along the inside, rated under mild pressure up the backstretch, continued hold the advantage through the second turn, offered brief and futile resistance to the winner upper stretch, held on gamely to save the runner up spot late. CLEARLY MY STAR broke back, moved up to race in mid pack while four wide into the first turn, three wide onto the backstretch, worked way to the inside and followed the winner late in the second turn along the inside, moved out a bit for the drive, lodged a late bid from outside the runner up for the second spot, missed. BECKY'SGOTTAHAVEIT lacked any speed for six furlongs, came three to four wide out of the final turn, steered out widest, launched a late run down the middle of the course to better her position, too much to do in order to be a serious threat. MO SKY back off the pace just off the inside, remained in the two path into and through the second turn, improved position while not a serious threat. ISLAND GOLD back off the pace, raced in the two path through both turns, showed some mild late interest to pick off a couple of rivals. CLEARLY CREEPS in mid pack after the start inside, continued to save ground through the second bend, went one paced through the lane while remaining inside. FLOWER GIRL raced in the second flight outside the winner, continued to stay with that one in a stalking position through the final turn, weakened in the stretch run. R T'S GEM pressured the runner up from the outside in the two path for six furlongs and gave way when the real running began entering the stretch. HOPEITSMYLUCKYDAY remained always back while racing toward the inside. IN B. J.'S HONOR void of early foot, moved outside, raced four wide through both turns and failed to menace.
