Chart notes

THINKABOUTIT hit the outside of the gate at the start, settled on the inside, checked sharply when shut-off at the nine-sixteenths and lost position, saved ground on the turn, was asked at the five-sixteenths, turned into the stretch the two path, angled out at the three-sixteenths, rallied while remaining on his inside lead to make a bid into the final furlong, passed the sixteenth-pole on even terms for the front, swapped to the proper lead when pulled in by the rider late and got up under strong handling. CEES GET DEGREES charged the front of the gate just as the latch was sprung, broke clearly in front while veering out in front of foes, bothered several rivals in the process, lugged out while setting the early pace, moved in near the nine-sixteenths, lugged out under extra left-rein pressure in the three path on the turn, responded well under the crop while taking a more straight path in the stretch, led into the final sixteenth but was caught while able to get the place. HAPPY FARM was forced out at the start then taken up some, settled just off the pace, came in near the nine-sixteenths and shut-off the winner, saved ground while asked on the turn, made a rail bid at the five-sixteenths, turned into upper stretch on even terms for the lead, fought under a drive into the final sixteenth and was outfinished while able to get the show. PRIME FACTOR stumbled at the start then was taken up twice, settled on the outside, moved closer late on the backstretch, went four then five wide on the turn, was roused in the vicinity of the five-sixteenths, chased outside in the stretch and lacked the needed kick. EMERALD FOREST was forced out at the start, tracked the pace on the outside, was given his cue in the four path on the turn, chased under a drive into the final furlong and weakened. NIFTY broke in and brushed with a foe, settled on the far outside at the rear, went five wide on the turn and failed to rally. RAM brushed with a foe at the start, settled on the inside of a rival at the back, went three to four wide on the turn and lacked the needed response. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC.
