Chart notes

CEEPEEGEE vied along the inside, prolonged the duel while headed around the turn, gamely reclaimed an advantage at the furlong grounds, drove clear shortly after and held off an outer bidder late. LIGHTNING MYQUEEN stalked along the inside, pursued from just off the top pair while taking the turn in the two path, chased behind them through upper stretch, shifted three wide at the furlong grounds, sustained a grinding charge in pursuit of the clear leader in the final sixteenth but needed more late. SPIRIT'S MISCHIEF vied two wide and outside of the eventual winner, clung to a narrow margin around the turn and through upper stretch, but relinquished the advantage to his inner counterpart at the furlong grounds and yielded. BYE BYE LIAM lacked speed along the inside, veered out to the six path approaching the five sixteenths pole causing trouble for an outer rival in the process, then stayed on outside of foes to gain a minor share. NORWICH tracked two wide and between horses, but forced the rider to take a firm hold while bearing out slightly entering the turn, was guided to the inside approaching the five sixteenths pole and ran on evenly. NUMERO SIETE bumped with an outer rival at the start, tracked four wide, chased the leaders from the three path around the turn and gave way between horses in the final furlong. KING OF THE PALACE chased three wide and between horses, but steadied when an inner rival put him to crowded quarters entering the turn, pursued from the three to four path around the bend and lacked a rally. BIG FIG broke a step slow before receiving contact from an inner rival at the start causing a slight bobble, then failed to factor from the two path. THEZELENSKYYFACTOR broke outwardly, laid off of the pace in the three path and between horse and made little impact. LOMACHENKO raced at the rear two wide into the turn and failed to factor. BIG HUNGRY lacked speed in the four path, but got forced outwardly and shied to the nine path approaching the nine sixteenths pole and subsequently weakened. IRISH MOON broke a step slow and was outrun along the inside.
