Chart notes

VIGO came under pressure in the opening stages to secure the lead while angling to the rail racing into the first turn, dictated terms on a narrow advantage through the backstretch, repelled several challengers while shifting a bit of the inside racing into the lane and widened his advantage late under brisk handling. DOHKO settled last racing to the backstretch, switched outside foes racing through the far turn, swung out to split foes four wide nearing upper stretch and produced a steady late response to just prevail for the place honors on the wire. SWINGIN FRIAR was rated along the rail tracking just off the leaders in the opening half, tipped off the inside while being urged to advance between foes bidding just outside the winner nearing upper stretch but flattened out last and lost second at the wire. MISTA DONZELLA tracked off the first flight between foes racing to the backstretch, was prompted to advance shifting out three deep racing into the far turn but lacked the needed late kick. TIMEWON'TLETMEGO broke sharply, prompted the pace outside the eventual winner to the backstretch, continued between foes into the second bend and faded leaving the far turn. SUPER EDGAR threw his head at the start while getting away slowly, was righted to make brief pursuit of the leaders three deep racing to the backstretch, but drifted out on the far turn, then emptied out abruptly nearing upper stretch. FOLLOWING THE RACE THE STEWARDS CONDUCTED AN INQUIRY INTO THE START BUT TOOK NO ACTION.
