Chart notes

EXPECT THE BEST stalked the pace in the three path, bid near the quarter pole, dueled, bore out to the five path near the quarter pole, went clear and held sway under mild urging. PALM TREE stalked the pace in the three path, bid four wide near the three-eighths pole, dueled, was carried out to the six path near the quarter pole and was no match in the drive. SPIRIT OF ROYAL saved ground, bid near the eighth pole and proved best of the rest. MAGNUS GOLD hopped at the start, bid in the three path near the three-eighths pole and improved position late. LAY DOWN THE LAW stalked the pace in the three path and faded near the stretch. AGUILA NEGRA was clear before giving way on the far turn. START MO UP stalked the early pace between rivals and gave way near the three-eighths pole. EXPLOSIVELY stalked the pace inside before giving way near the quarter pole. VACCINATOR was not a factor.
