Chart notes

TWO COOKIE RULE prompted the pace outside of MAGA COUNTRY early, settled back slightly down the backstretch to track three wide, encroached two wide on the far turn, headed the leader near the five sixteenths, held a narrow lead three wide through upper stretch, came out slightly midstretch, drove clear past the furlong mark as MAGA COUNTRY began to weaken, drifted in slightly late and held off COCKALORUM. the latter settled in second last, improved three wide on the far turn, was driven three and then four wide in the lane, found his best in the final furlong, and was gaining late. FLASHY RICHIE raced outside of FINAL CALL in the tracking flight through the clubhouse turn, tracked the leader between horses down the backstretch, was pushed along between horses on the far turn and driven between into the lane, altered slightly out midstretch when a hole between TWO COOKIE RULE and MAGA COUNTRY closed, kept on evenly under a drive, and was taken up by his rider late when TWO COOKIE RULE drifted in while clear in front. MAGA COUNTRY set the pace, took some pressure from TWO COOKIE RULE outside him through the first turn, edged clear for the backstretch run, was confronted by TWO COOKIE RULE while racing in the two path on the far turn, was headed near the five sixteenths, dug in and vied inside that foe to the the sixteenth, and weakened inside late. FINAL CALL tracked inside behind MAGA COUNTRY, was pushed along while continuing to save ground around the far turn, went to a drive inside in upper stretch, and emptied out from the three sixteenths. YOUJUSTGOTTUPPERED soon trailed, lost further position into the far turn, was pushed along while saving ground around the far turn, came into the lane in the three to four path, offered no rally and was not persevered with late. THE JOCKEY OF FLASHY RICHIE LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST THE JOCKEY OF TWO COOKIE RULE, ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH RUN. AFTER REVIEW, STEWARDS MADE NO CHANGE.
