Chart notes

NINEELEVENTURBO bumped into the first turn, started to tug the rider along around that bend and backstretch, tracked outside a rival, lacked room on the far turn, angled four wide into the clear entering the stretch, dueled into the furlong grounds and drove clear. SO I'M TOLD stalked two wide early, moved to the three path to take aim at the top pair leaving the far turn, gained command in upper stretch, lost command past the eighth pole and kept on to secure the place. TALLIS bumped leaving the gate, chased along the rail then bumped with outer rival into the first turn, remained inside through the second bend, lacked room in upper stretch, found room in the final furlong and finished willingly from inside. DERECHO DANDY dropped back early, had to alter wide into the first turn to avoid troubled rival, steered back inward around that bend, went two wide into the far turn, swung six wide into the stretch, produced a mild rally and rounded out the superfecta. FROST ALERT bumped leaving the gate, got put in tight along the rail and checked shortly after, altered around troubled rival into the first turn, settled off the pace in the middle stages, went two to three wide around the far turn and kept on through the lane. GOLDENEYE dueled for command along the rail into the first turn, inched ahead to take control around the bend, headed again past the quarter pole, lost command in upper stretch and weakened after. NUMERO DIX (GB) was off slow to begin, altered wide around the first turn, trailed on the inside to two wide on the far turn and passed tired rivals. CIRCLEOFCHAMPIONS stalked in the three path early, ran three then four wide on the second bend, got floated out into the stretch and weakened. THIRTY FOUR COUPE dueled three wide into the first turn then pressed the pace around the bend, kept the pressure on to the far turn, raced on even terms again past the quarter pole, could not kick on with the winner in upper stretch and faded in the late stages. KO SAMUI (IRE) bumped leaving the gate, raced between rivals early and bumped when put in tight and clipped heels unseating the rider in the process, was eventually caught by the outrider following the race and walked off. THERE WAS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INOLVING THE INCIDENT ENTERING THE FIRST TURN AND RULED THAT KO SAMUI (IRE) CAUSED HIS OWN PROBLEMS AND THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE.
