Chart notes

UNWOUND saved ground around the first turn, dueled on the inside up the backstretch, came around the far turn in the two path and kicked clear in the lane. AMERICAN SECRETS raced in the two path around the first turn, settled in the middle of the pack on the inside for the run up the backstretch, navigated the far turn still in the two path and gained ground late. DRIVING MONEY raced in the four path early, pressed the pace on the outside up the backstretch, continued around the second turn in the three path and weakened in the final furlong. SOMBRERO NEGRO raced in the two path around the first turn, dueled between horses up the backstretch, continued around the far turn in the four path and faded in the stretch. TUMBLEWEED raced in the four path around the first turn, trailed the field up the backstretch, navigated the far turn still in the four path and never threatened. CASH WATERFALL raced in the six path around the first bend, settled off the pace for the run up the backstretch, came around the far turn still in the three path and made no bid. MARKA raced in the five path early, stalked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, continued around the far turn in the five path and tired in the lane.
