Chart notes

FIREHORN was urged inside a rival prompting the pace through the backstretch, pressed the issue on the turn to strike the front nearing upper stretch shifted out slightly leaving midstretch brushing HIMELSTEIN and just edged that foe at the wire following a prolonged skirmish. HIMELSTEIN broke readily, dictated the pace just outside FIREHORN on his own courage in the opening stages, dueled for command through the turn past midstretch while being brushed racing past the furlong marker and contested the issue grudgingly to the end while just outfinished. CHINOMADITO tipped off the inside tracking off the first flight inside foes racing to the turn, continued in the three path racing into the stretch but offered no closing bid while earning a share. DOODLE HOPPER ducked out at the start crossing into the path of ILFARAONE momentarily, was righted to track the leaders between foes in second flight on the backstretch, shifted out four wide racing into upper stretch and steadily faded. ZONIC tracked off the first flight outside foes in the opening stages but dropped out early. IL FARAONE, carried out at the start, was settled well off the field racing through the backstretch and proved no threat. FOLLOWING THE RACE THE RIDER OF HIMELSTEIN LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST THE RIDER OF FIREHORN MIDSTRETCH WHILE THE STEWARDS CONDUCTED A CONCURRENT INQUIRY. AFTER REVIEWING THE RUN THROUGH THE STRETCH, THE STEWARDS DISQUALIFIED FIREHORN FOR INTERFERENCE, PLACING HIM SECOND.
