Chart notes

LITIGANT stumbled at the start then was urged forward, stalked the pacesetter from outside, was under urging at the five-sixteenths, struck the lead in mid-stretch, kicked clear and held. COALMINER'S KITTEN broke through the gate, tossed the rider and got loose, was caught by the outrider a little ways down the backstretch, broke well enough, tracked in behind the leaders from off the rail, was under urging by the seven-sixteenths, shifted out six wide leaving the turn, kept on but couldn't get to the winner. RUSSIAN HAMMER settled off the pace shifting in a bit, advanced between foes three to four wide on the turn, floated nine wide into upper stretch, gained steadily outside but needed more. FEELTHEBEAT soon led moving through inside rivals, set the pace racing well off the rail, weakened the final furlong. OFF TO THE RACES chased from outside a foe racing four to five wide through the turn, was carried seven wide leaving that bend, ran on in the stretch. NORFIE was in a bit tight early, took back and shifted in racing off the pace near inside, went mostly two to three wide on the turn, ran on. DAMIR bumped a rival at the start, was caught outside four to six wide on the turn, shifted inside foes at the top of the stretch, failed to rally. HAY MOON was bumped at the start, chased from outside five to six wide on the turn, failed to make a bid. INBOUND chased from between foes early, was ridden along at the seven-sixteenths racing inside on the turn, dropped back and faded. BOLD LOOKER lacked early speed and was never near enough to threaten.
