Chart notes

HAMILTON'S WAY was taken in hand early, saved ground under vigorous restraint while just off heels along the rail going around the opening bend, was rated just off the pace, came under urging outside the three-eighths pole, chased inside on the final turn, came off the rail into the stretch, made a bid outside the furlong marker, took the lead outside the sixteenth-pole and prevailed under strong urging. SWORDOFHONOR (IRE) went to the front, was well rated while showing the way on the inside, came under encouragement on the final turn, was asked for his best in upper stretch, led under a drive into the final furlong but was overtaken while just able to hold the place. FACTOR ANALYSIS settled on the inside, was asked late on the backstretch, brushed with a foe into the final turn, moved out in upper stretch and finished with good courage to just miss the place. STOP THE PRESS settled towards the rear while two to three wide, moved to the four path under urging late on the final turn, angled out in upper stretch and improved position. STEADFAST RESOLVE was urged early then taken back under strong restraint to the rear, went two then three wide on the first turn, entered the stretch for the first time in the four path, moved up near the wire, tracked three wide from that point, was given his cue near the seven-sixteenths pole, chased on the final turn, pursued the top two in the stretch and lacked the needed kick. EL REZEEN settled in the three path, was asked on the final turn, moved to the four path late on that bend, came five wide into the stretch, raced between horses in the final furlong and lacked the needed response. TAKE YOUR SEATS (IRE) went four wide on the first turn, settled on the outside in the three path from that point, was urged along on the final turn and also lacked the needed response. CIAO CHUCK stalked the pace on the outside in the two path, was asked late on the backstretch then urged along on the final turn, spun three into the stretch and tired. TRANSCENDENTAL settled between horses in the two path, came under urging near the half-mile pole, brushed with a rival leaving the backstretch, spun three wide into the stretch and failed to threaten. ROBAIRE was asked from the gate then taken under a tight hold early, saved ground while reserved on the inside, tried to move up passing the chute for the first time then was taken up some while in tight quarters then dropped to the rear, saved ground on the second turn and was pulled up on the backstretch then walked off.
