Chart notes

BRAVE BUCK broke towards the rear then brushed with a rival early, moved up between horses inside the three-quarter pole then pressed the pace, took the lead in the two path outside the three-eighths pole, kicked clear when asked for his best in upper stretch, was put to a right-handed crop at the furlong marker and held under strong urging then was unsaddled on the far turn before being transported off the track via equine ambulance. VIGANO brushed with foes after the start then steadied in tight quarters and dropped back, fell well behind the rest of the field under urging, went around the turn in the two then three path, swung out to the seven path into the stretch, rallied outside under a left-handed crop into the final furlong, drifted in while gaining coming to the sixteenth-pole and finished well but was too late while able to get the place. TARPAULIN had his path taken just after the start, established a forward position under some urging, made a bid at the seven-sixteenths pole, vied in the four path on the turn, lost touch with the winner while drifting in behind that foe in upper stretch, chased into the final furlong and weakened but was clear for the show. MIDDLE MARKET was hustled from the gate then settled off the pace, moved out near the eleven-sixteenths pole then was ridden along on the outside, traveled around the turn in the four path, turned into the stretch in the six path and improved position without threatening. MAJESTIC ARC broke awkwardly then came inward, showed speed then pressed the pace, dropped back near the nine-sixteenths pole then chased late on the backstretch, moved from the three path to the five path on the turn and lacked the needed response. BRODERICK bumped with a rival at the start then was brushed in the hindquarters early, settled near the back, raced inside for most of the turn then shifted to the three path, dropped in some while put to a drive in upper stretch and failed to rally. DIALBOLICO was rated just off the pace, came under urging while moving from the two path to the four path on the turn and came up empty. PROFITABILITY bumped with a foe at the start, was well placed down the backstretch, saved ground early on the turn, dropped back near the five-sixteenths pole then moved to the two path, spun into the stretch in the three path and had nothing left. JOHN THE BAPTIST broke fast then was hustled, set the pace under pressure to his outside, vied along the rail on the turn, lost the lead to the winner outside the three-eighths pole, dropped back inside the five-sixteenths pole and stopped then was eased but walked off. FOLLOWING THE RACE, THE RIDER OF VIGANO CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST THE WINNER ALLEGING INTERFERENCE EARLY IN THE RACE. AFTER THE STEWARDS' REVIEW, NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE ORDER OF FINISH
