Chart notes

OTTO THE CONQUEROR stumbled awkwardly at the start and was off a step slow then brushed with a foe, established a good position just behind the leading trio, was asked while in the two path for most of the turn, angled out late on that bend then reached the five path outside the quarter-pole, rallied in the six path into the stretch, closed strongly on the outside under a right-handed crop to get the lead outside the sixteenth-pole and prevailed under strong urging. LOCO ABARRIO went to the front, set the pace under pressure to his outside, vied along the rail on the turn, was asked inside the five-sixteenths pole, lost the advantage while moving to the two path coming to the quarter-pole, spun into the stretch in the three path, dueled inside of FAIR LAURENCE into the final furlong and got the best of that foe for the place but was overtaken by the winner. FRIAR LAURENCE pressed the pace on the outside of the leader, vied in the three then two path while between horses on the turn, was given his cue inside the five-sixteenths pole, took a short lead while in the back in the three path approaching the quarter-pole, spun into the stretch in the four path, dueled outside of the runner-up into the final furlong, was overtaken by the winner outside the sixteenth-pole and outfinished then just missed the place but was well clear for the show. COLD AS HELL made light contact with a foe at the start, pressed the pace on the outside, vied in the four then three path on the turn, was asked inside the five-sixteenths pole then carried back to the four path outside the quarter-pole, dropped back in the five path into upper stretch and tired. LOST IN ROME had his head turned a bit to the inside at the start, was slow into stride while brushing with a foe, settled at the rear, moved closer near the nine-sixteenths pole, was urged along late on the backstretch, saved ground early on the turn, came to the five-sixteenths pole under extra left-rein pressure while inside of a rival, checked sharply off heels shortly thereafter then came out to the three path, turned into the stretch in the five path then quickly moved further out and failed to threaten. HONORARY DEGREE bumped lightly with an opponent at the start, angled in while ridden along towards the rear, dropped from the three path to the two path on the turn and failed to respond.
