Chart notes

GRAB THE SPARK stalked the pace saving ground along the rail to midway on the turn, tipped out three wide to rally in the lane and wore down the pacesetter in deep stretch. RACE FOR COVER set the pace on a clear, well rated leadto the head of the lane, maintained a clear lead to mid-stretch, lugged in nearly hitting the rail in mid-stretch racing erratically and was caught in the final yards. ARTICLE was slow early to be the trailer, circled eight wide at the top of the lane and showed good interest to be along for the show. SPEAKER'S LOBBY tracked the leaders to be well placed midway on the far turn and finished evenly lacking a closing bid. HE'S A PISCES unhurried to race near the rear of the field, closed the gap with a mild bid turning for home and flattened out finishing evenly. ALEXANDER K failed to menace. BENGAL CAT prompted the pace for a half mile and came up empty on the far turn.
