Chart notes

NONE ABOVE THE LAW angled to the inside and stalked the pace along the rail, saved ground and was pressed upon into the stretch, rallied inside the top trio past the eighth pole, gained command in the final sixteenth and inched away. FLASHIEST shifted and bumped rival shortly after the start, reserved in the early going off the rail, closed in around the far turn, entered the lane four wide, bid three deep with a furlong remaining, battled into deep stretch and edged HOCKEY DAD for the place honors. HOCKEY DAD sped to the front, gained pressure into the backstretch, dueled around the far turn, held a short lead into the furlong grounds, relinquished command to NONE ABOVE THE LAW with a sixteenth remaining and lost the battle for second. CATHKIN PEAK (IRE) was rank early then settled on the inside, saved ground into the lane, lacked room near the sixteenth pole and kept on willingly to the wire. LINCOLN HAWK (IRE) got bumped and pinched back at the start, angled to the two path, moved out on the backstretch, advanced four then five wide on the far turn and kept on through the final furlong to improve position. ZOFFARELLI (IRE) settled in the two path, lacked room briefly in upper stretch then angled inward at the eighth pole, went between rivals with a sixteenth to go and lacked room late. SWORD ZORRO (IRE) got bumped leaving the gate, raced three wide leaving the chute then moved inside, traveled two wide leaving the backstretch, angled out and came six wide into the stretch and summoned a mild rally in the late stages. BARRAZA came in and bumped HUDSON RIDGE in the chute, became rank and hard to ride first time through the stretch, ran up on heels past the half-mile pole, went four wide into the drive and needed to find more inside the furlong grounds. HUDSON RIDGE got bumped by BARRAZA in the chute, was rank down first time through the stretch, forwardly placed on the inside then moved out a bit, driven two wide into the lane, lacked room in upper stretch, tipped out and could not regain momentum. NO FOOLERY HERE traveled in mid-pack early on, came five wide into the stretch and lacked a rally. PETRUCHIO trailed the field through the early stages, came three wide into the stretch and never got involved. CREW DRAGON broke in and bumped rival at the start, was forwardly placed off the rail, went up to press the pace on the backstretch, dueled around the far turn, fought to the eighth pole and gave way. JIMMY BLUE JEANS got bumped at the start, chased up close from outside, drew alongside into the backstretch, dropped back to chase outside another rival, went three wide into the stretch and faded.
