Chart notes

WORSE READ SANCHEZ was off a bit slow, pulled and had to steady off heels on the first turn, angled three wide into the drive, bid three deep in upper stretch while drifting inward, reached the front with a sixteenth to go and inched ahead late. EREBUS sped to the front and angled to the inside, set the pace under pressure up the backstretch, dueled around the second bend, fought with a pair of rivals in the lane and yielded grudgingly to the winner late. JACK SIXPACK broke slow, was forwardly placed three wide early then prompted the pace from outside, dueled around the far turn and into the lane, vied between rivals in upper stretch, then flattened in the late stages. VANISKY was off slow from outside, moved down to the inside on the first turn, trailed under coaxing, exited the far turn two wide and improved position. FORE FLAG was off a bit slow to begin, caught in traffic between foes and off heels shortly after, brushed with rival while angling out to the three path on the clubhouse turn, traveled three deep between foes in the middle stages, got caught in a bit tight early on the first turn, went two wide into the lane and was kept to task through the final furlong. BIG PAPA STEVE hit the gate and came away slowly, stalked inside then had to steady on the first turn, remained inside to the stretch and weakened. PHILOSOPHER'S TONE brushed with inner rival while three then four wide on the first turn, tracked the pace four deep up the backstretch, came three wide into the lane and weakened.
