Chart notes

MAGIC CONNECTION vied three deep up the backstretch and around the turn, dueled from outside late on the bend, carried a short lead into the final furlong, put BET THE OM away in deep stretch and held over the runner-up. BALLYHOOLIGAN tracked off the rail in the early going, went two wide into the turn, angled four wide around the bend, rallied inside the top pair, fought with MAGIC CONNECTION late but could not get by. BET THE OM vied between rivals to the three-eighths pole, dueled inside MAGIC CONNECTION with five-sixteenths remaining, battled into the final furlong and yielded late. JOEY BRACKETS sat off the pace and angled to the inside, steered out on the turn, came five wide into the drive and improved position in the lane. ROLLINWITHPOLAN raced up close on the inside, dropped back on the turn and could not rally. DO IT FOR DAVE trailed the field in the opening stages, rounded the bend three then four wide and passed tired rivals. FUEGO DEL SOL chased in the four path leaving the backstretch, moved into the three path, steered five wide into the lane and weakened. WARMHEARTED fought for the lead inside a pair of rivals, could not keep up late on the bend and retreated in the lane.
