Chart notes

GARDINER vied two wide, wrestled an advantage and put his inner counterpart to subtly cramped quarters in upper stretch, then drove clear leaving the sixteenth pole. COLONEL YORKE bumped with an inner rival at the start, pursued from midpack three wide into the turn, shifted four wide turning for home before floating to the five path entering the lane, then rallied outside of foes to gain place in the closing stages. SELL IT vied for the lead inside of the eventual winner, got put to tight quarters while headed in upper stretch, fought on hanging on his left lead through midstretch, but yielded late and lost place in the shadow of the wire. HANK HILL broke out and bumped a rival at the start, tracked behind the top pair early on, chased along the inside around the turn and pursued evenly through the lane. ASLEEP AT EIGHT bumped with an outer foe at the start, pressed outside of the top pair around the turn, came under urging before failing to sustain pressure turning for home, chased spinning to the four path into the lane, got outkicked for minor placings by an outer foe in upper stretch yet kept on mildly therafter. HUEVOS D'ORO transferred contact from an inner rival to an outer foe at the start, lacked speed before trailing in the three path around the turn, then moved up five wide leaving the furlong grounds while hanging on his left lead. BELIEVE IN DREAMS took light contact from an inner foe leaving the gate, laid off of the pace in the three to four path, leaned inwardly while hanging on his left lead between horses at the furlong grounds and failed to factor. DOWN THE ISLANDS was bumped by an inner rival into an outer foe and steadied back at the start, lacked speed in the two path and made little impact. BAYTOWN GUVNAH pursued form the two path and failed to factor. BRAVE WORDS chased from midpack along the inside and faded. BAMBY BOOM laid off of the pace in the four to six path and tired.
