Chart notes

IMPERIAL HORNET prominent leaving the start, tracked the fast early pace outside of an inner rival and was well positioned heading into the turn, chased two to three wide to the quarter marker, tipped four wide for the drive and vied for the lead into upper stretch, took a narrow lead at the furlong pole then was confronted by MAJOR TOM past mid-stretch, dueled with that rival into the final sixteenth, briefly lost the lead in deep stretch, came again in the final strides and determinedly dug in to prevail. MAJOR TOM was bumped leaving the start and was off a bit slowly, recovered and tracked the fast early pace from the inside, improved position into the turn and chased two wide to the quarter marker, angled five wide into upper stretch and loomed nearing the furlong pole, drew to even terms with IMPERIAL HORNET inside of the furlong marker and dueled with that rival into the final sixteenth, took a slim lead in deep stretch, battled gamely into the final strides and just missed for the win, while holding for place honors. MY DOMINATOR bumped by a neighboring rival at the start and was away slowly, was allowed to settle and trailed into the turn, raced two to three wide to the quarter marker then swung six wide into upper stretch. rallied while widest at the furlong marker, found his best stride late and closed willingly into the final sixteenth, could not catch the top pair in the final strides and held safely for third. O'BANION (IRE) bobbled at the start and was away a bit slowly, took back off of the fast early pace and saved ground into the turn, was roused two wide into upper stretch and rallied at the furlong marker, needed more into the final sixteenth and was outkicked in deep stretch. BOSS NINE showed good speed away from the gate and assumed command in the early stages, drew to a clear lead and set fast fractions into the turn, extended the lead into the turn and set fast fractions to the quarter marker, drifted out into upper stretch and was confronted heading to the furlong pole, was overtaken at mid-stretch and faded in the final sixteenth. DRIVER'S ED broke in at the start and crowded a neighboring rival, was hustled to be forwardly placed in the early running and chased the fast pace to the half-mile pole, saved ground into the turn and chased to the quarter marker, re-rallied in upper stretch and came within aim at the furlong pole, could not sustain that run into deep stretch and flattened out. DR PESCADO broke alertly, conceded the early lead and chased the fast pace from the outside, ran in pursuit three wide to the quarter marker, swung five wide for the drive and did not offer a late rally. ELCONDOR broke in at the start and crowded a neighboring rival, recovered and was forwardly placed leaving the start, tracked the fast early between rivals, came in tight leaving the half-mile marker, stumbled and was shuffled back heading into the turn, chased two to three wide to the quarter marker and gained ground into the stretch, could not sustain that run into the final sixteenth and tired.
