Chart notes

WARRIOR JOHNY forwardly placed just off the inside through the first turn, advanced three to four paths off the rail into the backstretch taking over command from a hard held and choked back NABOKOV, tucked to the inside five furlongs from home and showed the way along the rail patiently handled through the far turn as rivals got busy in behind, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, got given a notch and placed to coaxing straightened away and went clear in hand through to the finish to prevail comfortably on the wire. PERCEIVED saved ground at the tail of the field, came under coaxing just off the inside at the five-sixteenths, angled four to five wide into upper stretch and improved position to secure the place honors while never threatening the top one. COMPLETE AGENDA saved ground in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled four wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. UNBRIDLED BOMBER chased three to four wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, went eight wide at the head of the stretch, weakened in the drive. NABOKOV bobbled breaking in at the start and was shouldered by COMPLETE AGENDA bobbling back to the outside and placing WINIT in tight against WARRIOR JOHNY, showed the way early on under a light hold before being taken hard hold of and wrangled back off the lead when WARRIOR JOHNY advance outside into the backstretch, chased two to three wide from just off the pace coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled seven wide into upper stretch, tired through to the finish bumping WINIT just inside the eighth pole before coming over again and getting a solid bump on that eased up rival a sixteenth out and headed him at the finish. WINIT brushed between foes at the start and placed in tight, chased two to three wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive briefly before being taken in hand when tiring, got bumped by NABOKOV just inside the eighth pole and then got bumped solidly once more near the sixteenth marker as that rival again came inwards seeking him and was headed on the wire among the remaining finishers. VASARIANO away well, got taken in reserve and went four then three wide into the first turn to midway before tucking briefly to the two path, chased three then two wide from near the rear of the field coming under prolonged coaxing at the half mile pole, swung five to six wide into upper stretch and was unable to make an impact. Following the finish it was reported that NABOKOV was the focus of a Stewards' Inquiry in the stretch involving interference with WINIT and was disqualified from fifth and placed sixth for interference before the race was declared official.
