Chart notes

AVA K'S BOY broke in and brushed with a foe, was urged along in fourth position, chased three then four wide on the turn, gained five wide into the stretch then took the lead before the three-sixteenths, shook clear under a left-handed crop into the final furlong, switched to a right-handed crop outside the sixteenth-pole and held under strong urging. THE INSTITUTE broke out then was corrected by the rider and hustled, showed speed on the inside of three foes, was taken up badly and checked inside of a rank foe inside the nine-sixteenths then dropped back significantly, lost around four to five lengths on the front, raced inside early on the turn then moved to the two path under a firm left-handed grip, gained passing the five-sixteenths, came five wide into the stretch then tipped out about seven wide, chased the winner under the crop while outside in the drive and missed while clear for the place. MONEY MERGER broke a bit slow then drifted in after the start, raced at the rear, traveled around the turn in the two path, turned into upper stretch under a drive, moved out into the final furlong then drifted out more, took a straight course while gaining into the final sixteenth, drifted out again late then bothered KNIGHTLY MISCHIEF a bit and finished with good energy to garner the show. KNIGHTLY MISCHIEF bumped with an opponent at the start, settled off the pace, saved ground under urging on the turn, swung five wide into the stretch then moved further out, gained in the final furlong, steadied while forced out by MONEY MERGER late and missed the show. OCEAN'S RESERVE bumped with a foe at the start, showed speed while loosely between horses, checked while very rank inside the nine-sixteenths then dropped back, chased two then three wide on the turn, was driven four wide into the stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened. FATHER WALSH bumped with a rival at the start, showed good speed then disputed the pace on the inside of a foe, vied along the rail on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, dropped back while still on his inside lead into the final furlong and tired. LORD BROWNIE broke in and bumped with a foe then was taken up while in tight between horses, raced off the pace under urging, went three wide on the turn and failed to rally. DATESFREEDOM broke a bit slow, was hard ridden towards the rear, went three then four wide on the turn, came six wide into the stretch and was no factor. ILLUMINATO showed good speed, disputed the pace on the outside then in the two path on the turn, turned into the stretch under the crop and stopped. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC.
