Chart notes
EASTER (FR) broke a step slow, moved inside and became rank when reserved in the early going, continued to tug the rider along in the middle stages, saved ground through the far turn, had to pause momentarily when running up behind rivals in upper stretch, tipped out and surged alongside HONG KONG HARRY (IRE) and edged past late. HONG KONG HARRY (IRE) stalked from inside out of range, drew closer continuing to save ground on the far turn, ridden along into the stretch, tipped out and challenged the leader with a furlong left to run, took over entering the final sixteenth but got outkicked by the winner. BALNIKHOV (IRE) steered to the inside racing at the back, stayed along the fence to the stretch, angled out and put in a late run to gain the show honors. SUMTER stepped to the front along the inside, opened up a comfortable lead in the middle stages, held a diminished lead still clear of the field entering the lane, confronted by HONG KONG HARRY (IRE) with a furlong left to run, relinquished the lead to that rival and weakened in deep stretch. ASTRONOMER rated in the two path outside a rival, chased three wide into the drive, moved out and lacked a bid. CABO SPIRIT closest in pursuit to the far turn, cut into the lead around that bend, took aim two wide entering the stretch but lacked the needed response. YES THIS TIME raced in the two path near the back, traveled three wide turning for home and failed to menace. FRONT RUN THE FED raced outside a rival off the pace, remained two wide to the stretch and could not make an impact.
