Chart notes

ALWAYS FORWARD , off the pace and under asking outside a rival leaving the far turn, shifted inside nearing mid stretch and responded to right handed asking, wrested command with about seventy yards to go and drew clear. GINGER GIRL tapered in early and set a rated pace in about the two path, handed outer pressure then cleared past the three eighths, opened up when cued in upper stretch, wandered outward through the final furlong and gave way grudgingly. SKIP THRU DA FIRE , bumped at the break, regrouped and rushed up outside the leader to press three wide, drifted out with pursuit into the lane, straightened and finished evenly. MARGARET P , four wide stalking the pace, took closer order mid turn, was floated out entering the stretch and came up empty outside rivals. CALL HER BLUFF broke outward bumping a rival, straightened and edged up while saving ground, was under a ride leaving the far turn, angled out into the lane and faded.
