Chart notes

ESPERON set an open pace in the three path, received right handed cues while in the two path rounding the turn, continued to hold a clear advantage from back in the three path entering the stretch, drifted in against left handed encouragement late, but held on. SIMSOUM stalked in the three path, was put to a ride while tipping to the rail early around the turn, shifted back out to the four path into the stretch, ran on while drifting in passing the eighth pole, and had to take up in the final strides. CATCH A TIGER chased in the four path, was driven in the three path around the turn, floated out to the five path into the stretch, and kept on for show. SIXTEEN CIGARETTES rated along the rail, was urged from the two path into the lane, but flattened. SANPIRODU trailed in the five path early and never threatened. WAR AGUILA raced off the pace in the two path but was no menace.
