Chart notes

WILBERFORCE was content watching the pacesetter on the rail in the beginning, dropped back some at the five eighths marker, was nudged on the fence maintaining inside position at the three furlong pole, shifted outside when asked to go after the leader at the quarter pole, posed the main threat in the three path at the top of the lane and determinedly wore down the frontrunner at the seventy yard pole to edge away for the victory at the finish line. STYLISH GENT took control from the onset moving well along the backside, was loose up top setting a quicker second split throughout the turn, was clinging onto the lead in the two path straightening out for home, was headed outside in the final seventy yards but could not fend off the winner anymore in deep stretch. SALVATOR MUNDI sat alone in midfield by the half mile marker, waited behind challengers going two wide lacking running room through the bend, shifted out three wide entering the stretch, angled out more in the four path under left-handed encouragement at the eighth pole and was gaining late on the leaders but had to settle for third money in the end. STOP THE HUMBUG had a stalking trip near the rear inside of rivals, offered little change around the turn, rallied up the fence at the quarter pole to be in range for a share in upper stretch but stalled late settling on the fringes at the wire. ANSELMO settled close to the back down the backstretch, travelled two to three wide making no progression through the turn, took the overland route five wide trying to make a run at the quarter pole and in the six path down the lane passed tired foes at the sixteenth pole. NATIVE PRINCE stalked four deep close to the back of the pack, improved outside runners at the half, came under a ride inching up closer four wide around horses in the turn, angled out six wide at the top of the lane, could not sustain the rally and evened out in the final furlong. DECIMATOR was unhurried trailing down the backside, continued at the rear making little improvement around the bend, shifted out four wide turning for home, angled out further for clear run eight wide at the furlong pole and managed to pass weary rivals late. SOCIETY JOE chased the leader in the early stages, battled for the minor placings in the four path at the top of the stretch but yielded with rivals on either side by the furlong marker. KID FORESTER travelled three wide tracking the pacesetter between horses, was hard ridden but going in the wrong direction midway around the turn and retreated five wide in upper stretch.
