Chart notes

IRON DOME raced just off the inside in closest aim of the leader, advanced in hand as that rival was under a drive through the latter portion of the turn and seized command just outside the quarter pole, spun three then two wide into upper stretch and was roused straightened away, went clear under a light drive and was geared down inside the final sixteenth to the finish prevailing comfortably on the wire. REFUAH coaxed from the gate, raced four then three wide through the first turn, settled three wide in range of the leader down the backstretch, continued three wide through the far turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, tipped four wide into upper stretch, proved no match for the top one while keeping on to secure the place honors. SENEGAL coaxed from the start, raced three wide through the first turn, chased three to four wide coming under urging at the seven-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch and improved position to procure the show honors in the final jumps. TOGA DAN coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside under a ride from three furlongs out, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, weakened. RESILIENT HERO was outrun early on and grew detached at the tail of the field while in pursuit just off the inside, came under prolonged encouragement at the half mile pole, went eight wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. MO FOR THE KING established the front and showed the way in hand along the inside coming under urging at the three-eighths marker, yielded the front just outside the quarter pole and took the inside route into upper stretch, then tired through to the finish. AELFGAR bobbled at the break, chased along the inside and then just off the inside under a ride from the seven-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch and tired. ERIC FROM MIAMI coaxed from the start, raced four wide through the first turn, chased five paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking three wide through the far turn, came under urging three furlongs out, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and faltered in the drive. FIRST PITCH bobbled at the break, chased along the inside just off the pace through the opening half mile pole, began to retreat with seven-sixteenths to run and backed away through the far turn, went three wide into upper stretch and was eased home through to the finish.
