Chart notes

VANADIUM broke in front, set all the pace, responded under left handed urging and won going away. EL FAITE was bumped hard from his outside at the start, trailed around the clubhouse turn, rallied inside rivals into the stretch and finished clear for second. TAKE DICTATION stumbled outward at the start, stalked the pace three wide and went evenly. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS chased the winner from the inside, moved closer two wide before a half, kept on into the stretch then was outfinished. EMOJI TIME bore in bumping hard with EL FAITE at the start and was no factor. DUDE THE LEGEND had no impact. PER RULING ECM2025-256 FROM THE HORSE RACING INTEGRITY AND WELFARE UNIT, VANADIUM HAS BEEN DISQUALIFIED FROM FIRST TO UNPLACED FOR POSITIVE TEST.
