Chart notes

WHYNOTANOTHERONE established the front and moved inside, took pressure on the backstretch, edged clear at the half-mile pole, kicked away with a quarter mile remaining, responded well to left handed urging and held safely over the runner-up. SIGMA BOY stalked two to three wide early, chased three deep in the middle stages, gained three wide around the far turn, took aim at the leader with a furlong left to run, kept closing the gap in deep stretch but lacked the needed final kick. RAPID ASCENT stalked from inside, fell out of range on the backstretch, ridden along through the far turn, stayed on the inside to the stretch, finished well down the lane and earned the show honors. WAR ARTIST unhurried in the early going, went four then three wide around the first turn, rounded the second bend two then three wide, steered out at the top of the lane, offered a mild response and earned a minor award. HEAVENLY MATCH tucked inside off the pace, went between rivals into the far turn, driven two wide into the stretch, moved out in the drive and never threatened. LANK forwardly placed three deep, applied pressure to the leader early on the backstretch, lost touch with that rival but remained closer past the half-mile pole, chased two wide to the lane and tired. PERFECTIONACHIEVED angled from the three path to the rail around the first turn while dropping off the pace, trailed into and around the far turn and passed tired rivals in the stretch run. FREDDY FIVE FOUR laid off the pace five then four deep, remained wide up the backstretch, went three to four wide into the stretch and failed to get involved. LOW TOX chased four wide around the first turn, continued outside rivals up the backstretch, went three wide around the far turn and had little left for the stretch. COSMIC TRAIL raced up close in the two path, dropped back steadily in the middle stages, fell back further on the far turn and tired.
