Chart notes

HANDSOME TICKET grabbed the early lead, drew away along the inside around the bend, drifted out a bit in upper stretch, corrected with the right hand and held safely approaching the wire. UNBRIDLED VISION chased four then three deep up the backstretch, rounded the bend three to four wide, chased determinedly into the final furlong, put in a mild late bid but was not enough. MICI'S EXPRESS settled at the back early, went four wide into the turn, moved down to the two path around the bend, steered back out in upper stretch and got up for third. THE OLD NINE (IRE) chased along the rail into the turn, moved off the fence a bit around the bend, was closest in pursuit in the two path turning for home but failed to produce a bid. BALLYHOOLIGAN stalked between rivals early, chased two wide into the turn, got moved to the three path midway around the bend, tucked inside past the quarter pole and failed to rally. MACHO MAN chased three deep between rivals before getting crowded a bit and suffered a mild shuffle, fell back to last on the turn, raced along the rail into the lane and could not make an impact.
