Chart notes

TAWNY PORT settled tracking the leader along the inside from mid pack, remained patiently handled through until five-sixteenths to go and was called upon before spinning just off the inside into upper stretch to clear the backing away former leader CORRUPTION, rallied to take command nearing the eighth pole, edged clear under a drive to prevail. NAVY SEAL (IRE) tracked the pace along the inside from a loose pocket through the opening half mile, took closer order past the stands the second time before shifting two to three wide through the third turn, angled three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch the second time before tucking to the two path through the final turn advancing on the leader to take over under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under lone threat to the outside and was caught just outside the eighth pole, ran on willingly to the wire. MIZTERTONIC tracked along the inside from near the rear of the field early on, tipped out two to three wide and began an advance the second time down the backstretch, went three wide through the far turn coming under urging nearing the quarter pole, angled five wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages while clear for the show honors. FLASHIEST struck the off side stall at the start, raced just off the inside at the tail of the field through the opening mile, tipped out three wide through the third turn and then three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch the second time through, went four wide through the last turn and then six wide into upper stretch bidding into prominence at the head of the stretch, then weakened in the stretch. CORRUPTION raced forwardly placed three wide through the first turn, settled just off the inside in closest aim of the leader through the opening mile before advancing and taking over just under the wire the second time, showed the way in hand just off the inside until tucked to the fence into the last turn and came under pressure to the outside, relinquished the front with five-sixteenths to go, took the inside route into upper stretch and was eased home through the final furlong, galloped out and returned and was unsaddled, then collapsed in the walk back and was attended to and vetted returning to his feet and was walked off under his own power. FLEETFOOT (IRE) raced in mid pack early on before advancing to settle just off the top pair while three wide through the first and second turns, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing three furlongs out, cornered three then two wide into upper stretch, folded, and was eased home to the wire. CONCORD GREEN two to three wide between foes in pursuit from mid pack, raced three to four wide through the final mile and both remaining turns, went four wide for home, gave way and was eased home to the finish. WORTHINGTON established the front and showed the way under a light hold along the inside through the opening mile, got headed for the front just under the wire the second time and steadily faded through the second mile coming under a drive five furlongs out, continued to retreat and swung three to four wide into upper stretch, faltered, and was eased home to the end. Please note the split for a mile and three-quarters was not available.
