Chart notes

JOKING AROUND showed early speed, took command around the turn, pulled away and won handily. FREE DEAL raced near the back in the beginning, made a late bid, proved no match for the winner, but was best of others. WARMHEARTED LADY raced within striking distance, saved ground around the turn, weakened and proved no match for the top two. SEE A LADY dueled on the front end in the beginning, saved ground around the turn and faded, while finishing wide down the lane. BAYOU BABY broke out, raced near the back, came around the turn on the outside and was never a threat. MO BELLE POWER bumped at the start, raced in the rear and trailed throughout.
