Chart notes

LOVE CANDY was allowed to settle off of the fast early fractions, saved ground through the turn, rallied along the inside in upper stretch, closed fast and came within aim inside of the furlong marker, assumed command nearing the sixteenth-marker and held in a drive in the final stages. STORMY SAMURAI tracked the fast early pace, raced two wide to the quarter marker, advanced nearing mid-stretch, was outfinished by LOVE CANDY in the final sixteenth and was up in the final strides to secure second. ALMANERA (IRE) showed early speed and pressed the fast pace to the turn, kept close attendance to FAST PER SE to the quarter marker, battled with that rival to mid-stretch, took a narrow lead inside of the furlong marker, could not keep pace with LOVE CANDY in deep stretch and was just edged for second, while holding for third. LMLOOKNFORMISCHIEF was allowed to settle in the early stages, came two wide into the turn, was roused five wide in upper stretch, closed willingly in the final furlong and challenged for third in the final strides. I'M DR. O tracked the quick early pace, raced two wide along the turn, swung four wide for the drive and found his best stride late. LOVE'EM N LEAVE'EM raced close up to the fast early pace, advanced three wide on the turn, ran evenly to the furlong marker and was outkicked in deep stretch. FAST PER SE showed good early speed after an alert beginning, set a pressured pace to the quarter marker, held foes at bay to mid-stretch and gave way in the final stages. C'MON MAN broke slowly, lacked early speed, trailed to the top of the stretch and was not a factor. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
