Chart notes

ZVEREV vied for the lead with an outer rival, led narrowly down the backstretch, got headed by his outer counterpart in upper stretch, yet battled on into the final furlong, fought back and edged an advantage once more in the late stages. COMMON DEFENSE vied two wide, pressed down the backstretch, rebid turning for home, forged an advantage in upper stretch, sparred with his inner persistent counterpart into the final furlong but was bested by that one late. DAUNT laid off of the pace along the inside, tracked around the final bend, dueled for show with an outer rival while chasing through the lane and narrowly prevailed. BIG TO DO tracked the top pair from the two path, came under urging within striking range outside of those foes around the final turn, proved no match for them in upper stretch, dueled with an inner foe for show through the final furlong but missed. BARRICADE laid off of the pace in the three path, trailed along the inside around the final turn and got outrun.
