Chart notes

WITS AND WAGERS stalked along the inside, awaited racing room from within striking range behind the leaders around teh far turn, remained blocked in the two path entering the lane, split the leaders to offer a bid in upper stretch, forged an advantage coming to midstretch, dueled with an outer counterpart through the final furlong and prevailed. PARKING LOT POURS pressed two wide, vied around the far turn, leaned three wide and between horses into the lane, battled with an inner bidder through the final furlong but was denied. FLIRTIN AGAIN tracked three wide, pressed in range outside of the top pair turning for home, bid while being floated four wide entering the lane but flattened out. SHE'S FASCINATING set the pace along the inside, vied with an outer presser around the far turn, got headed entering the lane and faltered.
