Chart notes

HODL HARD set the pace along the inside, showed the way via a clear margin around the turn, shifted out in midstretch then held sway from an inner challenger late. MY KING AIR stumbled at the start, chased along the inside, ran on with gradual progress to bid inside of his leading stable-mate in the final sixteenth but was fended off. PROBLEM SOLVED stalked three wide then chased evenly through the lane. BERNIEDOTT raced off of the pace near the two path, swung out to the five path entering the lane and failed to menace. FEDERAL AGENT pressed outside of the eventual winner into the turn but faded with five sixteenths to go. FOUR DIMES broke a step slow, raced at the rear in the four to three path into the turn then tired.
