Chart notes

ROYNE just off the pace three then two wide, tipped three wide through the far turn coming under light coaxing near the quarter pole before being set down spinning four wide into upper stretch, rallied in tandem with ARUBA and WAR FIGHTER inside to take command a furlong out, dug in dueling to the finish leaning out on ARUBA a sixteenth from home, then got leaned on nearing the finish as ARUBA came inwards and gamely got the bob to prevail. ARUBA two to three wide in pursuit from mid pack, remained patiently handled until let out angled out five to six wide into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge through the final furlong engaging ROYNE in head to head combat and getting leaned on by that rival coming outwards a sixteenth from home, came inwards in response leaning on his main rival nearing the finish while battling on and just missed at the end. EVERESTING established the front and spurted away in hand along the inside, had the field at times take closer order and shook away in spurts while remaining in hand, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, got roused with about three-sixteenths to go, dug in under threat from a trio and was overwhelmed and collared a furlong out, kept on under a drive to preserve the show honors. WAR FIGHTER tracked the pace along the inside, came under coaxing just past the five-sixteenths, got steadied near the quarter pole as MAGICAL MARRIAGE came in slightly at that station, cut the corner into upper stretch, rallied to offer a bid a furlong out, then kept on to miss for the show honors. MAGICAL MARRIAGE coaxed from the start, tracked just off the inside in closest aim of the leader, came in slightly near the quarter pole forcing WAR FIGHTER to steady in behind and in turn ABUNDANT HONOR to be taken hold of in behind that rival and altered out, spun three wide for home, dug in and weakened in the late stages. DADDY FRANK (GB) brushed the near side stall at the start, settled just off the inside near the rear of the field, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun three wide for home and made no impact. ABUNDANT HONOR saved ground in pursuit from mid pack, got forced to steady and alter out near the quarter pole when WAR FIGHTER had MAGICAL MARRIAGE come inwards at that station, went three then two wide for home and offered no kick. ENDOWED saved ground near the rear of the field, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went five to six wide into upper stretch and trailed. There was a Stewards' Inquiry as well as a Jockey's Objection by the rider of ARUBA alleging interference in the stretch against ROYNE. After review the objection was dismissed and the result was allowed to stand prior to the race being declared official. RACE WAS HAND-TIMED. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
