Chart notes

PUTONAHAPPYFACE broke out at the start and was corrected, raced just off the inside through the first turn before tipping three paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked inside with seven-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside into upper stretch roused for the drive, rallied to be among a quartet heads apart a furlong out, seized narrow command just inside the sixteenth marker, dug in gamely to fend off the runner up. TWIRLY broke out at the start, raced along the inside through the first turn before chasing two to three paths off the inside down the backstretch, went just off the inside through the far turn patiently handled until let out angled five wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just inside the eighth pole, the outermost of a quartet, got collared just inside the sixteenth marker and battled on to the wire. SMOKIN HOT BLONDE four then three wide through the first turn, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the far turn, got set down spinning three to four wide into upper stretch, rallied to be heads apart for the front a furlong out, kept on to procure the show honors. MERMAID three then two wide through the first turn, chased three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked to the two path through the turn and came under coaxing near the quarter pole, spun three wide into upper stretch seizing command straightened away, dug in under threat from a trio and was collared just inside the eighth pole, then weakened in the late stages. NICKEL SAVER broke out at the start bumping QUEEN SALLY, chased two then three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, angled five wide into upper stretch and offered no response. QUEEN SALLY got bumped at the start by the aforementioned foe, chased along the inside and then just off the inside under encouragement from three furlongs out, spun two to three wide into upper stretch and tired. KEY ACTRESS established the front and showed the way in hand along the inside through the first turn and then just off the inside down the backstretch, tucked back to the rail with seven-sixteenths to go, remained patiently handled until roused taking the inside route into upper stretch under threat to the outside, yielded the front straightened away and backed away to the end. LUCKFORYOU chased just off the inside and then along the inside under a ride from three furlongs out, cut the corner into upper stretch, faltered in the drive.
