Chart notes

BISHOPS BAY broke a bit outwardly, vied for the lead with an inner foe while kept in the three path, forged an advantage passing the three furlong pole, drew clear entering the lane, held sway through midstretch, got collared by an outer bidder in the final sixteenth and held. COAL BATTLE laid off of the pace in the four to three path, shifted five wide entering the lane, rallied to bid outside of the leader in the final sixteenth but missed at the wire. OWEN ALMIGHTY raced close up along the inside, shuffled behind a faltering foe approaching the five sixteenths pole, recovered two wide entering the lane, issued a re-rally to take aim inside of the leader in the final furlong but needed more. EAST AVENUE took closer order between horses at the five furlong pole, tracked from the three path into and around the turn, chased the clear leader from the four path entering the lane but flattened out. NU WHAT'S NEW stalked from the four path, chased around the turn then faded once floated to the six path entering the lane. PRINCE OF POWER broke slowly, raced off of the pace in the two path and failed to factor. MACHO MUSIC vied for the lead inside of the eventual winner, got headed at the three furlong pole, faded turning for home and weakened.
