Chart notes
XMAS SURPRISE attended the pace three deep, challenged outside the top pair at the quarter pole, led into the stretch and held gamely. RED DIAMOND stumbled leaving the gate, stalked outside a rival then came three wide into the stretch, rallied inside the top pair and finished well for the place. KALON was forwardly placed from outside, bid four deep at the quarter pole, challenged the winner from outside through the final furlong but could not find the needed late kick. CIELO D'ORO tracked three then four wide on the bend, tipped out in the stretch and finished willingly to earn a minor award. MONGOLIAN PANTHER dueled for the lead early then pressed the leader up the backstretch, re-bid nearing the five-sixteenths, vied between rivals into the stretch and flattened out. GET ON THE BUS stalked the pace on the inside, saved ground through the turn, moved off the rail in the stretch but lacked a bid. MIRACLE OF HOPE dueled for the lead from inside then inched ahead to take control, headed by that rival again on the turn then vied with a trio of rivals at the quarter pole, lost the lead into the stretch and weakened. SOCIALLY SMART raced off the pace, shifted out into the turn, went four then three wide around the turn and was never a factor. BUY AMERICAN was off slow to begin, settled at the back, checked off heels into the turn, came four wide into the drive and failed to menace. LADY MACARENA hopped at the start, settled early and angled inside, exited the bend two wide and faded.
