Chart notes

ONE IN VERMILLION dropped well behind the rest of the field, moved from the rail to the two path under strong urging on the turn, swung seven wide into the stretch under a left-handed crop then drifted out before being straightened by the rider, gained into the final furlong, inherited the front when the leader was injured outside the sixteenth-pole and prevailed under good handling. VERIFYING settled off the pace, dropped back leaving the backstretch, was urged two to three wide on the turn, moved out in upper stretch, chased into the final furlong, swerved out to avoid the injured foe near the sixteenth-pole, inherited the advantage briefly at that juncture but was overtaken while able to get the place. ARABIAN LION pressed the pace on the outside, was asked in the three then four path on the turn, lost touch with the leader near the quarter-pole, spun five wide into the stretch, chased into the final furlong, moved out to avoid the spill near the sixteenth-pole and was well clear for the show. FORT BRAGG broke out and glanced the hindquarters of a rival while off a step slow, was rated on the outside, dropped back leaving the backstretch, was urged three to four wide on the turn, came six wide into the stretch and weakened. DREW'S GOLD settled just off the pace, dropped back leaving the backstretch, saved ground under urging on the turn and faltered. NEW YORK THUNDER went to the front, showed the way under pressure from the outside, vied in the two then three path on the turn, shook clear nearing the quarter-pole then spun four wide into the stretch, drew off into the final furlong, suffered a catastrophic injury outside the sixteenth-pole and fell then was euthanized on the track.
