Chart notes

YACHT ROCK (IRE) broke well and contested the early pace for the initial furlong, backed off a bit heading into the turn while holding the rail, followed TURQUOISE BLUE into the stretch, tipped out to the two path, wore that rival down late and was pulling clear in the end. TURQUOISE BLUE broke well and vied for the lead with several foes in the initial stages, then put a head in front at the half, led the field to the turn with several in close pursuit, edged clear on the turn then met a challenge by YACHT ROCK (IRE) at head of the lane, battled gamely down the stretch then gave way grudgingly in the final yards. GABARRA broke sharply then backed off to a tracking position while staying four to five wide in the clear down the backstretch, advanced three wide through the turn while being coaxed along, then closed under an all-out drive in the stretch to get third. OOEY GOOEY CHEWY raced close to the pace down the backstretch, then backed off through the turn, kept to the rail in the stretch and finished with good energy under steady handling but came up short. WITT AMERICA got away well then pressed the pace being set by TURQUOISE BLUE through the turn, let that rival slip away passing the five-sixteenths pole, was still with a chance in upper stretch then tired in the late stages. EMBOITE (IRE) lagged in the early stages, was still well behind the main back on the turn then finished with some mild interest while never a serious threat. CINCO MAJESTIC tracked from a few lengths back while three wide lacked a late bid. BIG BRAVE OKIE was outrun from the start and trailed throughout.
