Chart notes

DANCER'S MELODY gained a three deep lead near the three eighths pole, went clear leaving the turn, remained well off the inner rail, drifted out a bit inside the sixteenth pole and prevailed under brisk urging. BACKSTREET AFFAIR , between horses on the turn, eased out to the four path leaving the turn and closed nicely. PREPAREFORTAKEOFF showed speed along the inner rail and gradually faded in the stretch drive. FUNNYBET , three wide on the turn, moved to the four path approaching the stretch and passed tired horses. MARVELLA NASTY , a forward factor in the two path throughout, chased the pace and weakened. CONGRESS HALL , four wide leaving the turn, was not a factor. RAVENEL , four deep leaving the backstretch, moved to the three path on the turn, chased the pace and gave way. RED QUEEN was not a factor. MS. MALEVOLENCE raced inside horses down the backstretch and on the turn and gave way. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
