Chart notes

BOOK'EM DANNO was hustled from the gate then urged along just off the pace, dropped back some leaving the backstretch, chased in the two path for most of the turn then shifted to the three path, was driven into the stretch in the four path, pursued the leading duo while outside into the final furlong, gained while only flagged with the crop into the final sixteenth and went by the embattled duo late to prevail. BENTORNATO went to the front while well off the rail, was challenged to the inside near the five-eighths pole, vied in the three path on the turn, was given his cue near the quarter-pole, dueled determinedly outside of LISTENUPCHANCE into the final sixteenth, narrowly bested that foe for the place but was caught by the winner. LISTENUPSHANCE was fractious in the gate, tossed his head and was off slow, angled in at the rear then rushed up on the inside of the field from about five lengths off the leader, made a bid for the lead with five furlongs to run, drew even outside the half-mile pole, vied inside of BENTORNATO while inside to the two path on the turn, was asked near the quarter-pole, dueled gamely with the aforementioned foe into the final sixteenth and just missed the place while outfinished by the winner. IMAGINATION settled off the early pace, was taken up when BENTORNATO dropped in front of him near the five-eighths pole, saved ground while let out on the turn, was roused outside the quarter-pole, swapped back to his inside lead in upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong, remained on his inside lead to the finish and lacked the needed response. ILLUMINARE bobbled at the start but broke with the body of the field, dropped back then settled on the outside, was urged along in the three path on the far turn, spun into the stretch in the four path and failed to rally. FAUST broke out at the start, settled near the rear of the field, saved ground while roused on the turn, turned into the stretch in the three path and was no factor.
