Chart notes

ANYWAY coaxed from the gate, came out slightly brushing LIBERTY RISING, raced briefly in the two path behind a rival and tipped out bumping FIREBALLIN at the nine-sixteenths marker and taking over the three path, pressed the pace of B PROVOCATEUR from the outside coming under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, swung four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive taking command just outside the eighth pole, then edged away to the finish kept to task. B PROVOCATEUR showed the way in hand just off the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was caught just outside the eighth pole, dug in and ran on to preserve the place honors by a nostril on the wire. MO FOR THE KING broke out at the start brushing LIBERTY RISING, chased along the inside down the backstretch before tipping out three then four wide coming under a ride at the three-eighths pole, angled six wide into upper stretch and ran on to just miss for the place honors on the line. LIBERTY RISING bobbled at the break and was brushed between foes, chased six paths off the rail early on until tucked to the two path half a mile from home, chased just off the inside through the turn and into upper stretch, weakened in the drive. THE TOY CANNON broke out at the start, chased five paths off the inside in the early stages, got carried out three paths to be eight paths off the rail when FIREBALLIN was under a protective hold and being guided outside nearing the half mile pole, had that rival allow him to get by so as not to continue outwards with him, quickly tucked four then three and two wide by the three-eighths marker, tipped back four wide at the quarter pole and weakened in the stretch. FIREBALLIN chased three to four paths off the inside forward from the start, got bumped by ANYWAY at the nine-sixteenths marker and was pushed out, tossed his head rank and appearing in distress, got quickly placed to a protective hold and was guided outside taking THE TOY CANNON with him outwards three paths before allowing that rival to get by and escape being carried out any further, was expertly eased up and then pulled up in the vicinity of the seven-sixteenths marker, got attended to and vetted and was subsequently transported off the course via the equine ambulance.
