Chart notes

BILLY BUCCHERO hit the inside of the gate at the start, ranged up to stalk the pace four wide in the early stages, was coaxed along rounding the turn before taking charge at the quarter, kept on task down the lane to expand his winning margin. SOUTHSIDE SAMURAI brushed with inner foe at the start, settled off the pace three wide, ranged up through the turn and made a four wide move entering the stretch, picked off a couple rivals to earn the place honors. BLUSTERY DAY raced off the pace five wide in the early stages, began asking around the three eighths marker before committing to a rally down the stretch to earn the show award. NEPTUNEROAD RICHIE stalked the pace three wide, backed off entering the turn to trail at the half mile marker, ran on down the lane for an improved finish. MIRACLE MICHAEL vied for early command two wide, grudgingly gave way at the quarter and weakened along his inside lead. GEORGE'S PAL VINNY broke slightly inward, vied for the early lead along the inside, surrendered at the quarter and weakened then on. TARTAH settled off the pace between runners, received a pop of the crop at the five eighths marker, flagged along past the three eighths before going into an all out drive at the top of the lane but came up empty. THEMISTOCLES brushed with outer foe at the start, chased the early pace along the inside, backed off through the turn to trail by the quarter, flagged along through the upper stretch before easing across the final furlong.
