Chart notes

LET'S GO BIG BLUE brushed with a rival at the start, was eased back while taken under a tighter hold nearing the first turn, traveled three wide around that bend, settled outside on the backstretch, was roused while three then four wide on the far turn, rallied five wide into the stretch, closed well to get the lead inside the three-sixteenths then was given one pop of a right-handed crop, drifted out about four paths when switched to a left-handed crop inside the furlong marker, carried out the runner-up in the process then was straightened by the rider approaching the sixteenth-pole, swapped back to his left lead inside that pole, fought tooth and nail with the unofficial runner-up to the wire and held gamely. RAMBLIN' WRECK was slowest into stride then asked to pick it up, saved ground on the first turn, settled at the rear, drafted in the two path early on the far turn then shifted to the four path late on that bend, rallied six wide into upper stretch, closed well to make a bid inside the furlong marker, was carried out by the unofficial winner at that juncture, fought outside that foe on even terms in the final sixteenth and was denied while well clear for the place. WILLINTORISKITALL bumped with a foe after the start then was taken up, went two then three wide on the first turn, was rated outside while tracking the pace, came under urging around the seven-sixteenths, went four then three wide on the far turn then was guided four wide into the stretch, chased while remaining on his inside lead to the furlong marker then swapped to the proper lead and weakened but just held the show. ITSALLCOMINTOGETHA brushed with an opponent at the start, was taken in hand early, rounded the first turn in the three then four path, prompted the pace on the outside, vied in the three path on the far turn, took the advantage coming to the five-sixteenths, was asked near the quarter-pole, lost the lead inside the three-sixteenths and tired. KING OF COMEDY moved from the rail to the two path on the first turn, was rated in the second flight, traveled around the far turn in the two path while let out, shifted three wide at the quarter-pole then chased the leaders, dropped in near the furlong marker and also tired then missed the superfecta. VACATION DANCE was hustled from the gate then bumped with an opponent, went to the front, showed the way on the inside, was asked on the far turn, lost the advantage coming to the five-sixteenths pole and faded. FOLLOWING THE RACE, THE STEWARDS' POSTED THE INQUIRY SIGN AND THE RIDER OF RAMBLIN' WRECK CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST THE UNOFFICIAL WINNER. AFTER THE STEWARDS' REVIEW, LET'S GO BIG BLUE WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM FIRST AND PLACED SECOND FOR INTERFERENCE OUTSIDE THE SIXTEENTH-POLE
