Chart notes

FACTUALLY CORRECT hustled from the gate, crossed when clear to directly to the two path and arrived there with five furlongs to go, tucked inside through the turn and came under coaxing just before being set down spinning from the two path into upper stretch, dug in holding safe to the eighth pole, then edged clear to the finish to prevail. PARTY IN THE ARMY chased just off the inside and then along the inside under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, angled four wide into upper stretch, ran on to chase the winner home clear for the place honors. BOLD FORTUNE broke in trading a bump with WHAT'S UP BRO, chased five then four wide coming under urging near the quarter pole, spun five wide into upper stretch and kept on to the finish to preserve the show honors. RADIO RED chased three paths off the inside early on before tucking to the two path into the turn, tipped three wide placed to encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, angled out eight wide into upper stretch, made headway then flattened out in the late stages. VEKINDA got bumped at the start by GRAND OPENING, chased three then two wide under a ride from three furlongs out, went two to three wide for home and weakened in the late going. WHAT'S UP BRO broke out at the start trading a bump with BOLD FORTUNE, chased four then three wide under urging from three furlongs out, went seven wide at the head of the stretch, tired. GRAND OPENING broke in at the start bumping VEKINDA, chased four then three wide under urging from the three-eighths pole, tipped four to five wide at the top of the lane, made no impact. UNBROKEN CHAIN coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside under motivation from the seven-sixteenths marker, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, tired.
