Chart notes

AGATE saved ground off of the pace, encountered brief traffic at the three sixteenths pole, rallied four wide and between horses into the final furlong, split foes and gained command coming to the final sixteenth then drew clear. BOLD LEADERSHIP lacked speed in the two path, swung to the seven path entering the lane, laned inwardly while progressing in upper stretch, corrected and shifted out leaving the furlong grounds, flopped back to his left lead shortly after yet rallied to edge place in the final sixteenth. REAL GOODBAR pursued from midpack two wide, fanned four wide into the lane, rallied to bid in the five path at the furlong grounds but got outkicked by an inner counterpart leaving that juncture and yielded place late. POPCORN brushed with an outer foe at the start, raced at the rea along the inside, shifted to the six path in upper stretch, encountered traffic at the furlong grounds, shifted out and ran on willingly. MID AMERICAN laid off of the pace in the three path, swung five wide into the lane, ran on in the six path in midstretch but flattened out between horses in the final furlong. MAD MO brushed with an inner foe at the start, raced at the rear in the three to four path, fanned six to seven path in upper stretch then moved up late. HEMINGWAY tracked along the inside, then within striking range two wide and between horses in upper stretch, but encountered mild traffic while getting outkicked by outer rivals at the furlong grounds and failed to menace thereafter. BLARING AMBITION tracked from the three path, pursued within striking range in upper stretch but got outkicked by outer bidders at the furlong grounds and faded. HERACLES stalked the run-away leader from the two path, bid outside of that one entering the lane, led shortly after, but was caught at the furlong grounds while hanging on his left lead and weakened. TRIM CASTLE sprinted clear early on, got caught by an outer bidder in upper stretch and weakened.
