Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic S.

Chart notes

PROGRAM TRADING (GB) bobbled and brushed an inner rival while breaking on towards the front, stalked along the inside while pocketed around both turns, took aim two wide and between horses while brushing an inner rival in upper stretch, bid inside of the new leader passing the furlong grounds, took a brush from that one passing the sixteenth pole, dueled through the late stages and narrowly prevailed. NAVAL POWER (GB) stalked two wide, bid along with an outer rival entering the lane, led narrowly in upper stretch, repelled his outer counterpart's bid while meeting an inner challenge at the furlong grounds, flopped back to his left lead shortly after, brushed that foe before changing back to his right lead in the final sixteenth, sparred gamely to the wire but was narrowly bested. WEBSLINGER brushed the outer stall door upon leaving the gate and was off a step slow, trailed in the two path, shifted to the four path at the five furlong pole, offered a four wide blitz around the far turn to sweep past foes turning for home and offer a bid for the lead outside of the top pair entering the lane, vied through upper stretch, but flattened out while getting turned away leaving the furlong ground, yielded to the top pair before meeting an inner challenge for show in the final sixteenth, and saved that position via a head-bob. INTEGRATION pursued from midpack along the inside, shifted to the two to three path while rallying in midstretch, sustained his progress to bid for show inside of WEBSLINGER in the final sixteenth, but narrowly missed. FAR BRIDGE broke a beat slow and took light contact from an outer rival at the start, laid off of the pace in the two path, entered the lane in the five path before tipping wider in upper stretch, then ran on mildly while hanging on his left lead. SIEGE OF BOSTON was a bit reluctant to be the final contender to load, lacked speed three wide, took the far turn in the three to four path and between horses, took a brush from his outer rival entering the lane, then lacked a bid between horses. I'M VERY BUSY was a bit fractious in the starting gate necessitating backing out for a brief veterinarian exam pre-race, lacked speed along the inside, took the far turn in the four to five path, brushed an inner rival entering the lane, then lacked a rally and yielded between horses. ANGLOPHILE pursued from midpack two wide and between horses, chased in the three path in upper stretch and faded. NEVER SURPRISED established a clear advantage early on, enjoyed a loose lead down the backstretch, but was headed by a pair of outer bidders at the head of the lane, took light contact from an outer rival at the three sixteenths pole and caved. CELLIST was put to tight quarters early on and checked back with seven and a half furlongs to go, tracked three wide, but weakened between horses entering the lane.
