Chart notes

L'IMPERATOR (FR) bumped with EVER DANGEROUS at the start, bumped again with that foe early, was reserved in the two path, shifted four wide late on the far turn then was roused, rallied to get the lead in upper stretch, drifted in a bit into the final furlong, shook clear into the final sixteenth and prevailed under strong urging. EVER DANGEROUS bumped with L'IMPERATOR at the start, bumped again with that opponent early then checked sharply while squeezed back between horses, was reserved at the back while saving ground, shifted three wide when asked around the five-sixteenths, moved to five wide outside the quarter-pole, followed the winner under a drive into the final furlong and finished with good courage for the place. EN WYE CEE broke out at the start, was taken back off the pace under tight restraint then rated just behind the leader in the pocket, drafted behind horses while still under restraint on the far turn, was asked at the quarter-pole, lacked room from that point into the final furlong while under some urging, checked sharply when a possible hole closed inside the eighth-pole, gained momentum when finding room into the final sixteenth and finished with good energy for the show but lost any chance at the victory. BODECREAM raced in the three path on the first turn, settled nicely down the backstretch, was given his cue in the three path on the far turn, gained under the crop to make a bid in upper stretch, battled with the winner until the sixteenth-pole then was out-kicked. BURNING BRIGHT brushed with a foe at the start then leaned on that foe a bit, was taken in hand while going to the front, showed the way under a snug hold on the inside, was asked at the quarter-pole then came under a drive, lost the advantage to the winner inside the three-sixteenths and weakened. ARGONNE was taken in hand early, rounded the first turn in the three path, stalked the pace on the outside, was asked in the two path on the far turn, chased under the crop into the stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and capitulated. PRETTY GOOD YEAR went three wide on the opening bend, was unhurried at the back, came under urging late on the backstretch, went three wide early on the far turn, was carried five then six wide late on that bend, dropped back five wide into the stretch and failed to respond.
