Chart notes

PERHAPS TONIGHT (IRE) had her head turned at the start and was off two lengths slow, raced off the pace three wide, advanced four wide around the far turn, rallied outside and was up late. SMART SPENDING stalked the pace from the rail, got through inside of the pacesetter in upper stretch, struck the front near the sixteenth pole but could not fend off the winner late. ROSEBUD'S HOPE set the pace in the two path, led to the sixteenth pole and fought on between foes to the wire. MIDNIGHT BELLA prompted the pace three wide, bid nearing the quarter pole and was outfinished. WICKED MERCURY threw her head just prior to the start and was off at least four lengths slow, trailed inside, advanced three wide around the far turn, angled further out in upper stretch and lacked a further rally. SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT steadied entering the first turn, raced between foes in midpack and lacked a rally. PASSION PLUS steadied midway around the first turn, saved ground off the pace, swung out in upper stretch and never threatened. FRANKIE'S GIRL steadied entering the first turn, chased the pace four wide and faded in the lane. THE STEWARDS CONDUCTED AN INQUIRY INTO THE START AND RULED THAT WICKED MERCURY WAS ACCORDED A FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO START. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
