Chart notes

MISSION IMPROBABLE got bumped by inner foe at the start, trailed the pack in the early stages, began to make progress three wide through the turn, took aim at the leader entering the stretch and sustained an impressive rally to be up just in time. BILLIONAIRES ROW broke sharply to claim a clear lead into the turn, continued to fight for his lead down the lane but got nailed at the wire by determined foe. BITE AND STRIKE bumped outer foe at the start, chased the pace in the two path, ran on for the show award. JOHN JAY was rated along the inside, shifted out three wide at the sixteenth, was one paced. GLOBAL PROSPERITY raced off the pace between runners, entered the stretch driving four wide but flattened out late. VACATION DANCE raced off the pace along the inside, trailed by the three eighths, eased across.
