Chart notes

ROTHSCHILD broke out at the start under coaxing, showed the way rated along while loping along the inside uncontested until nearing the half mile pole when a pair of rivals made an advance outside, got put to light coaxing and went just off the inside through the far and final turn coming under urging three furlongs from home, spun just off the inside into upper stretch under threat, rebuffed that challenge to surge away inside the eighth pole, then held game to the finish to repel the runner up. ASBURY PARK (GB) saved ground in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths pole, spun three wide into upper stretch, tipped out two additional paths straightened away, rallied inside the final furlong to latch on the winner as he hit the finish ultimately being repelled to the wire. ARKHIPOV broke in at the start pinching back THE HIDDEN CHAMBER in tandem with SARDIS, raced three wide through the first turn forwardly placed, tracked along the inside past the stands the first time before tracking two to three wide thereafter, advanced on the leader half a mile from home and went three wide through the far turn, continued three wide into upper stretch looming to the outside, got rebuffed inside the eighth pole and kept on to secure the show honors on the wire. MUTAAWID tossed his head at the start, saved ground near the rear of the field, came under encouragement three furlongs out, continued in the inside route into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. SARDIS broke out at the start pinching THE HIDDEN CHAMBER in concert with ARKHIPOV, tracked the front just off the inside from just off the pace coming under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, swung four wide into upper stretch and weakened. THE HIDDEN CHAMBER got pinched out between foes who each broke his way, chased along the inside early on and then three wide thereafter coming under urging at the five-sixteenths pole, angled five wide into upper stretch and tired. L'IMPERATOR (FR) saved ground at the tail of the field, came under encouragement three furlongs from home, continued along the inside into upper stretch and made no impact. Please note the half mile split has been omitted pending review.
