Chart notes

ITS MY DECISION tracked in the two path, was ridden in the three path around the far turn, took aim in the four path at the top of the lane, kicked on to bid passing the furlong grounds, and drew ahead late. DONCELLA stalked outside of rivals, moved up to challenge while tipping into the two path entering the far turn, dug in between rivals from the three path down the stretch, got caught by an outer foe around the sixteenth, then drifted in and bumped an inner foe late, but held place. HAPPY ENCOUNTER bobbled at the start, rated along the rail, moved up to vied for the lead passing the half, battled under a drive around the turn, fought on into the stretch, evened out in the final sixteenth. then bumped with an outer foe late. LITTLE LOGAN vied for the lead in the two path early, lost ground going by the half, angled out to the four path under a drive in upper stretch, then finished evenly. TUVANA was very reluctant to load which delayed the start, went in without the rider, chased between rivals into the backstretch, was ridden in the three path around the far turn, floated out to the seven path at the top of the stretch, and did not factor. MISSELEANOR pressed in the three path, steadied between foes going into the far turn, then yielded. NO CHANGES WERE MADE AFTER AN OBJECTION LODGED BY THE RIDER OF HAPPY ENCOUNTER AGAINST THE RIDER OF DONCELLA FOR INTERFERENCE IN DEEP STRETCH WAS DISALLOWED.
