Chart notes

MAJOR GENERAL bumped lightly with a foe at the start but broke very fast, set the pace under pressure to his outside, vied in the two path while inside foes on the turn, passed the five-sixteenths under a strong hand ride, lugged inward in upper stretch, moved out under left-handed pressure while remaining on his inside lead into the final furlong, was bumped by BOURBON HEIST while that foe posed a major danger at the sixteenth-pole, fought on his inside lead to the wire and narrowly prevailed under strong urging. BOURBON HEIST bumped with rivals on both sides at the start then steadied, moved out then was urged along on the outside, tucked into the two path with a half-mile to run, angled four wide under urging at the five-sixteenths then was driven five into the stretch, rallied outside into the final furlong, drifted in while gaining on the leader coming to the sixteenth-pole, bumped with that foe while on even terms for the lead at that point, vied outside of the winner to the wire and just missed while clear for the place. FAN THE FIRE was well placed just off the pace, saved ground in dead-aim of the leader on the turn, was given his cue at the five-sixteenths, cut the corner under a right-handed crop into the stretch, moved out in pursuit of the winner inside the three-sixteenths, shifted further out around the sixteenth-pole and was out-kicked but clear for the show. JUDGE DAVIS lost his footing one stride from the gate, chased the pace down the backstretch, moved forward in the four path on the turn, made a bid outside the five-sixteenths, turned into upper stretch under a drive, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened. TRIPLE ELVIS broke a bit slow then brushed with a rival, was urged along off the pace, started the turn in the two path, angled five wide at the five-sixteenths then came six wide into the stretch and failed to respond. GILDED AGE broke a bit slow, was ridden along towards the rear, raced inside early on the turn, moved off the rail around the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into the stretch and failed to threaten. NAPA VALLEY reared at the start and was off very slow, spotted the front many lengths, went around the turn in the two path and was no factor.. RAYMOND broke in and bumped with a foe, pressed the pace on the outside then in the three path on the turn, was urged along between horses passing the five-sixteenths, dropped back into the stretch and folded.
