Chart notes
NICKEL NICKEL NINE stalked the pace from inside, waited behind the leaders while easing off the rail on the far turn, angled four wide into the lane, launched a bid inside TAKE CHARGE CURLY approaching the eighth pole, gained command in the furlong grounds and drove clear. TAKE CHARGE CURLY vied four deep into the first turn then moved back a bit to stalk the top trio from outside, drew alongside again on the far turn and took over four deep at the quarter pole, inched ahead entering the stretch, held a short lead over NICKEL NICKEL NINE approaching the eighth pole, relinquished the lead in midstretch and stayed on to the wire. DONTTESTYOURLUCK pressed the pace from between rivals to the far turn, took a short lead at the five-sixteenths pole still between rivals, lost command at the quarter pole, could not kick on with the top pair in the final furlong but stayed on to earn the show honors. BUCK OWENS tracked three deep early, angled five wide to take aim entering the stretch but lacked the needed late punch in deep stretch. SAMBA FLAVOR pressed the pace three deep early, fought three deep around the far turn and weakened in the drive. LE VRON JAMES set the pace inside a pair of rivals to the far turn, lost command at the five-sixteenths pole, chased the leaders into the lane and gave way. BALLROOM PRINCE was off slow to begin, trailed in the early going, moved out on the backstretch, went three to four wide on the far turn and was not a factor. GOLD EXPRESS scrambled leaving the gate, pulled two wide early, dropped back on the far turn and tired. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
