Chart notes

MOONLIGHT trailed in the three to two path around the first turn, moved between horses into the far turn, tipped out to the four path in upper stretch, rallied to bid outside of the leader at the sixteenth pole and drove past. THIS IS USCAR vied two wide, drew clear with three furlongs to go but was caught late. NOT THIS BOY vied for the lead with an outer rival, failed to keep pace with that one at the three furlong pole, chased between rivals into the lane and kept on. KUPUNA tracked along the inside, but only managed to chase through the lane. KING RUSSELL stalked two wide and between horses, chased in the three path around the far turn, but drifted out to the five path in upper stretch and weakened. CATCHING FREEDOM raced off of the pace three to four wide and tired.
