Chart notes

PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE settled off of the pace, shifted four wide to commence a gain into the turn, floated to the five path to stay outside of the leading pair entering the lane, exchanged bumps and brushes with an inner PRESELI'S TALE while keeping that foe hemmed in through midstretch, then drove past the leading duo at the sixteenth pole, and cleared. PRESELI'S TALE was bumped by an inner foe at the start, stalked two wide before shifting three wide into the turn to track the leading pair, tipped to the four path entering the lane while inside of PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE, exchanged bumps and brushes with that rival through midstretch while failing to create racing room, got outkicked by that foe leaving the furlong grounds, then stayed on the final stages once clear to reach place just before the wire. CHARGER pressed three wide before vying outside of the SUPPRESSOR around the turn, got floated to the four path by that foe entering the lane while sparking a duel, battled through midstretch, but was overhauled by an outer rival a sixteenth out, then lost place late. SUPPRESSOR set the pace along the inside, shifted to the three path entering the lane while meeting CHARGER's bid, dueled with that foe through midstretch, but yielded at the sixteenth pole. CENTURION stumbled viciously at the start and lost all chance, then trailed along the inside around the turn, shifted two wide entering the lane, and stayed on. AERONAUT tracked from midpack along the inside, shifted two wide into the turn, but lacked a kick along the rail to produce a bid through a wide opening in upper stretch, then chased before tiring. HONKY TONK HERO lied far off of the pace in the tow path around the turn, and failed to factor. SEMINOLE BEACH lied off of the pace five wide around the turn, and faded. POLSAR bumped an outer foe at the start, then stalked along the inside, but weakened through the lane. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
