Chart notes

FRIZZANTE brushed with inner foe at the start, chased the pace along the inside, shifted out two wide in the far turn and brushed into AMBITION, entered a drive along his left lead to reel in LE GRIS just in time. LE GRIS brushed with inner rival at the start, claimed a clear lead along the inside through the first turn, continued steadily in front until entering a drive at the quarter, fought hard to repel the rallying rival to no avail. SHARP SPARK brushed outer runner at the start, slowly advanced four wide up the backstretch, brushed with AMBITION in the far turn, kept on down the lane for the show award. SYSTEMIC CHANGE brushed with inner foe at the start, trailed for most, passed faders in the stretch. AMBITION was forwardly placed three wide in the first turn under a tight rein, settled back a few lengths early into the backstretch, ranged back up between runners for the far turn and got brushed between them, slowly began to back off around the three eighths, walked onto the equine ambulance after the finish to be transported off. MISSOURI RIVER chased the pace setter two wide, received some shoulder taps around the three quarters to hold his position, started to enter a drive at the half mile marker but continued to lack a response.
