Chart notes

MURSAL was well placed just off the pace, saved ground on the turn, was roused late on that bend, spun into the stretch in the two path, pursued the runner-up under a drive into the final furlong then made a bid, passed the sixteenth-pole on even terms for the lead and got up under strong urging to narrowly prevail. SWEET NOTE showed speed from the outside post and set the pace, moved in around the nine-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the two path, was asked while inside into the stretch, came under a left-handed crop outside the furlong marker, switched to a right-handed crop under heavy threat from the runner-up outside the sixteenth-pole and was caught while clear for the place. EDISTRUDIS settled off the pace, was urged along late on the backstretch, shifted from the rail to the three path on the turn, swung into the stretch in the five path then moved further out and just got up for the show. PROUD FOOT bumped with rivals on both sides at the start, bumped with two foes early, settled towards the front, chased in the three path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, dropped back into the final furlong and tired. CONFIRMED STAR bumped with PROUD FOOT at the start, bumped again with that foe early, was urged along near the back, went around the turn in the two to three path, came into the stretch in the four path, drifted out near the three-sixteenths pole and just missed the show. SHEER WILL broke in and bumped with PROUD FOOT, bumped again with that opponent early, moved to the outside then settled at the rear, dropped well behind while moving from the six path to the eight path on the turn and was pulled up in upper stretch then transported off the track via equine ambulance. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
