Chart notes

CARLEA'S DREAM with the early pace while three wide up the backstretch, dueled through the turn while remaining off the inside, narrowly showed the way into the straight, long drive, dug in and found more from between horses the final furlong to prevail in game fashion. MARGOT'S BOY bothered at the start, raced back off the pace in the two path, followed the winner into the lane just off the inside, roused, closed with determination to be up late for the second spot while between horses at the wire. THAT'S RIGHT balked loading, broke with the leaders, settled in the second flight while racing three wide, crept closer on the outside turning for home, in good striking position when straightened for home, lacked a closing punch, outkicked for the second spot. PRODIGY PARADISE broke in, vied up front closest to the inside up the backstretch, dueled inside the winner through the turn, continued to battle into and through upper stretch, gave ground grudgingly to the end. SPECIAL MEMORY broke back, lacked speed off the inside, came three wide out of the turn, made little impact in the run to the wire. COUNTRY HIT with the early pace along the inside, in tight then checked up along the rail into the turn, fell back and did not recover.
