Chart notes

PLEASANT VALIANT veered in and bumped with the horse to his inside leaving the gate, raced in the two path around the first turn, pressed the pace on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the far turn from the three path, dueled down the stretch and pulled clear late. WHISKEYMAC was bumped soundly by the horse to his outside at the start, recovered to lead the field while saving ground around the first turn and up the backstretch, continued to show the way while racing in the two path around the bend, dueled in upper stretch, was caught and kept on to the wire. RED OCTOBER raced in the three path early, continued up the backstretch in the middle of the pack on the outside, came around the far turn in the two path and gained ground while drifting late. JAY BIRD raced in the four path around the first turn, chased the leader on the outside up the backstretch, continued around the far turn still in the four path and flattened out in the lane. THE SWAYZE EXPRESS saved ground around the first turn, settled in the middle of the pack on the inside for the run up the backstretch, came around the second bend in the two path and never threatened. BALLINDINE raced in the middle of the pack between horses through the opening half mile, saved ground around the far turn and was empty in the stretch. MIRO trailed well behind the field the entire way around the oval, saved ground and was never a factor. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
