Chart notes

BESIDE HERSELF went to the front then moved clear, was well rated in hand while setting an uncontested pace from the inside to the two path, controlled the action through the final turn, responded well when asked at the quarter-pole, came under a right-handed crop outside the furlong marker, switched to a left-handed crop at the sixteenth-pole and proved much the best under steady urging. ROCKY SKY (IRE) broke a bit awkwardly, became keen under tight restraint early, tucked into the three path into the first turn, moved to the two path later on that bend, was reserved under a strong hold, made his way closer to the rail down the stretch for the first time, saved ground on the second turn, continued in reserve towards the rear, raced inside early on the final turn, split foes in the two path while given her cue at the five-sixteenths, came out into upper stretch, passed foes outside in the final furlong and finished willingly for the place. QUEEN BOURBON moved from the rail to the two path around the opening bend, was rated in third position, went two then three wide around the second turn, tracked outside down the backstretch, was given his cue in the three path on the final turn, chased outside into upper stretch and lacked the needed kick while able to get the show. CREATIVE CAIRO brushed with a foe after the start, moved up between foes into the first turn, tracked the pace in the two path while in hand, was asked on the final turn, chased into upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened. GOOD MEASURE bumped with MIA MARTINA at the start, bumped again with that foe early then was taken up briefly, saved ground while unhurried at the back, was roused late on the final turn, turned into the stretch in the two path and failed to threaten. MIA MARTINA bumped with a GOOD MEASURE at the start while brushing with another foe, bumped again with that foe early, settled outside in the two to three path, continued outside towards the rear down the backstretch, came under urging around the half-mile pole, went three then four wide on the final turn and lacked the needed response. LIGHT STARS (FR) became rank when taken under tight restraint early, went three wide while tugging at the bit around the first turn, fought the rider while tucked into the two path down the stretch for the first time, leveled out some before the second turn, continued two to three wide, was roused on the final turn and came up empty. CHAMPAGNE IVY settled on the inside, was asked on the final turn, came under the crop outside the quarter-pole and failed to respond. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
