Chart notes

STITZY tracked the leading pair inside while racing a bit keenly early, tracked the leading trio down the back straight and into the far turn, continued to track inside around that bend, was driven for an inside bid into the lane, took the lead near the furlong mark, and kicked clear late. SKY JUMPER stalked the leader, took closer order near the half, raced outside of N. K. ROCKET MAN in the leading flight around the far turn, headed that foe near the quarter, continued to vie with the leading flight into the lane, was no match for STITZY inside the furlong mark, came in and bumped VICENTE'S SHADOW in the final furlong, and got the nod for place. VICENTE'S SHADOW settled at the rear early, was at the inside of the rear flight around the back straight, began to improve approaching the far turn, gained well past the three eighths, sustained his rally between horses in the lane, was bumped by SKY JUMPER inside the furlong mark, lost some momentum, continued to fight on nonetheless and lost the nod for place. NOLONGERAHOBBY chased between horses early and three wide into the first turn, chased two wide down the back straight, was pushed along for a bid between horses on the far turn, engaged the leading flight four wide into the lane, was no match for STITZY from near midstretch, and was outkicked for the place. N. K. ROCKET MAN was keen to the lead and soon clear, was engaged while leading two wide around the far turn, was headed near the quarter, still fought on between the leading flight to the furlong mark, and weakened late. SHOTGUN EXPRESS (IRE) chased three wide early, settled back toward the rear into the first turn, continued near the rear down the back straight and while positioned three wide on the far turn, improved past the three eighths, was in range of the main pack in upper stretch but emptied out in the final eighth. BLUE AZUL chased inside early, inched forward through the first turn to track the leading pair outside of STITZY, advanced further down the backstretch to stalk the leader outside of SKY JUMPER, gradually lost position three wide on the far turn and had no further response after being driven into the lane. CALIBOGEE raced two wide at the rear early, continued at the rear down the backstretch and in the two path around the far turn, and offered no bid. THE STEWARDS PERFORMED AN INQUIRY INTO THE STRETCH RUN. UPON REVIEW, THEY DISQUALIFIED SKY JUMPER FROM SECOND TO THIRD FOR BUMPING VICENTE'S SHADOW. THERE IS NO SEVEN EIGHTHS TIME AND THE FINAL TIME IS HAND TIMED.
