Chart notes

DRAGOON GUARD was bumped by an inner foe into an outer rival at the start, tracked from the two to three path into the backstretch, ranged up to bid outside of the leader and from the three path at the three furlong pole, cleared in upper stretch and drew off under a drive. CHUNK OF GOLD led two wide around the first turn, continued to show the way in the two path into the far turn, got collared by an outer bidder at the three furlong pole, was headed by that one at the five sixteenths pole, proved no match leaving upper stretch, shifted out and held place from an outer rival through the final furlong. THIS IS USCAR bumped an outer rival at the start, tracked along the inside, inched closer two wide at the three furlong pole, chased while shifting out four wide at the five sixteenths marker yet ran on in the final furlong but was denied place. TIZTASTIC took contact from an inner foe at the start, trailed in the two path, improved in the four path around the far turn and failed to menace. BANISHING prompted along the inside, chased passing the half mile pole then faded rounding the far turn.
