EL ZOPILOTE raced in range, hustled up three wide around the turn, sustained a steady bid and finished second best. CREATIVE MINESHAFT raced off the pace, cut the corner and gained along the inside. JACKLIGHTING hustled along five wide into the lane and improved. VALIANT THOR raced up close around the turn, stayed on in the upper stretch then gave way. PALIMPSEST hustled along three to four wide and failed to threaten. GREY INVASION raced near midpack, went wide into the lane and never threatened. PLEASANTLY ROYAL got brushed after the start, raced wide into the lane and lacked a rally. SEATTLE COUNCIL saved ground and failed to menace. RIOJA PALACE raced up close two wide around the turn then tired in the drive. ENGLISH HONOR raced three wide around the turn and never threatened. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC.
