Chart notes

FINGAL had his saddle adjusted behind the gate, came away in good order, prompted the pace on the outside while in the two to three path, took the lead midway through the final turn, responded well when roused near the quarter-pole then was put to a drive in upper stretch, drew away under a right-handed crop into the final sixteenth then was placed under a hand-ride to the wire while much the best. CITY MAGIC went to the front, showed the way while inside to the two path, was asked while headed at the three-eighths, dropped back under a drive into the stretch and safely secured the place while no match for the winner. HYPERFOCUS broke out and was last of the quartet to commence, tracked the pace on the outside while three to four wide, chased under strong urging on the far turn, was put to the crop just inside the three-eighths, pursued the winner into upper stretch and tired. CENTAVO dropped from the two path to the rail on the first turn, settled off the pace, came under coaxing near the five-eighths then was put to stronger encouragement shortly thereafter, dropped back under vigorous urging while moving from the inside to the two path on the final turn, spun four wide into the stretch and faltered then was eased in the final furlong but walked off.
