Chart notes

FOUNDERS went around the first turn in the two then three path, settled off the pace, was roused in the four path on the far turn, rallied in the six path into the stretch, gained to make a bid outside the furlong marker, took the lead outside of two foes just inside that marker, came in outside the sixteenth-pole then bumped the un-official runner-up and prevailed under steady urging. STARSHIP TITAN dropped from the three path to the two path on the first turn, was well placed just off the pace, saved ground on the far turn, was asked outside the quarter-pole, spun into the stretch in the three path, took the lead inside the three-sixteenths pole, lost the advantage just inside the furlong marker, was bumped hard by the un-official winner outside the sixteenth-pole, battled between horses into the final sixteenth and was outfinished late while able to get the place. POLICY CHANGE broke very fast and went straight to the front then moved in, rounded the first turn in the two path, showed the way down the backstretch, vied inside on the far turn, was asked in the two path into the stretch, lost the advantage to the runner-up inside the three-sixteenths pole, fought on well with the top two into the final sixteenth but was out-kicked while just able to hold the show. FULLY BOOKED dropped back after the start, raced in the two to three path on the first turn, settled at the rear, was roused while saving ground on the far turn, turned into the stretch in the two path, angled out near the furlong marker and improved to just miss the show. THE NOMINEES ARE moved from the two path to the four path about midway through the first turn then dropped back to the three path, was reserved towards the rear, dropped from the three path to the two path on the far turn, spun into the stretch in the four path then chased the leaders, drifted in from behind a foe into the final furlong, moved out some outside the sixteenth-pole and weakened. BERMUDA TRIANGLE was rated on the inside, came under urging on the far turn, chased under a drive into the final furlong and tired. SWAMP FOX broke awkwardly and was off slow, moved from the three path to the five path about midway through the first turn then dropped back to the three path, settled at the rear, was roused in the five path on the far turn, turned into the stretch in the seven path and failed to threaten. SUSPICIOUSLY NAMED went around the first turn in the five path, prompted the pace on the outside, was asked in the three path on the far turn, dropped back in the five path into the stretch and faded. FOLLOWING THE RACE THE RIDER OF STARSHIP TITAN LODGED AN OBJECTION AGAINST FOUNDERS. AFTER THE STEWARDS' REVIEW, FOUNDERS WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM FIRST AND PLACED SECOND FOR INTERFERENCE OUTSIDE THE SIXTEENTH-POLE
