Mendelssohn got bumped and had to be taken up before the first turn, but that doesn't excuse his last-place finish. He never was traveling.

Audible ran up on a wall of horses before the quarter-pole, had to steady and drop down to the rail, but did get through with clear sailing from there. Possible the spot of trouble cost him second. 

The trip of trips award goes to My Boy Jack, who looked mid-backstretch like he might be pulled up, so indifferently was he going about his business. He was still last past the half-mile pole and into the far turn, at which point he got in one of those amazing jackpots you sometimes see at the very back of a field. Didn't get extricated from that until about the three-furlong pole, came nine paths or so into the homestretch, and then skipped home very willingly. Who knows what might've been here. 

Hofburg also had a somewhat tough go of things, racing in heavy traffic and getting stopped, and he, too, finished with decent energy. 

Bolt d'Oro did not look good at all coming to the eighth pole and essentially was eased to the finish.
