Chart notes

RED CHIPS unhurried early, swung wide, closed rapidly in the middle of the racetrack through deep stretch and got up in the final stride. MOMMA K'S BOY close up from the start, rallied two wide into the stretch to make the lead before the furlong marker and just missed hanging on by the narrowest of margins. EXCITEMENT was bumped from his outside at the start, bid three wide on the turn, swung five wide in upper stretch and finished with good courage. OVID broke inward bumping EXCITEMENT at the start, rushed to contention in the middle of the racetrack down the backstretch, move closer six wide in upper stretch then faded late. PLAYING FOR KEEPS offered a mild bid two wide through the turn then failed to sustain that bid. LIVE A LITTLE set the pace three wide into the stretch and weakened late. GOLDEN FLAG chased the pace along the inside into the stretch then gave way. SWAYBACK MOBIL trailed.
