Chart notes

GOLDEN RHYTHM was forwardly placed racing three-wide, responded during the drive and was up in the final strides. SCHWARZ was off a step slow while breaking in, rushed up along the inside to take the lead leaving the half mile pole, opened a clear lead nearing the quarter pole and ten just failed to last. WILDWOOD ROAD was allowed to settle, move up four-wide nearing the quarter pole, offered a bid entering the stretch and then flattened out during the drive. SERENE EMPRESS set the early pace racing two-wide and tired.
