Chart notes
PAYNT BY LETTERS bumped with MERLOTTI at the break, shared the lead in hand from just off the inside, moved clear midway on the backstretch, was roused leaving the quarter pole, lengthened command and was kept to task until nearing the wire. PLAIN OR PEANUT chased from between horses, progressed along the rail on the second bend, angled out to path four at the top of the lane and took over second with seventy yards left. MERLOTTI squeezed between rivals briefly at the start, came into contention four wide on the backstretch, went for the lead just outside PAYNT BY LETTERS on the second turn, was no match for that one in the stretch and began to wear down the final sixteenth. DIAMND CON SUERTE reluctant to load, chased from path three, tried to split rivals at the quarter pole, jostled with SMILE LIKE KYLE, was steadied, gained a clear path behind MERLOTTI into the stretch, improved position some, angled in inside the last furlong and leveled off. CHARLIE'S BEACH bumped with MERLOTTI at the start, soon trailed, picked up his pace after a half mile, lost ground four to six wide taking the second turn and advanced without threatening in the lane. UH OH IT'S MAGIC chased from inside, angled out some on the second bend, swung out seven wide for the stretch run and lacked a significant bid. SMILE LIKE KYLE gradually advanced from outside on the backstretch, was three wide on the second turn, jostled with DIAMND CON SUERTE when that one tried to squeeze through inside the latter, fanned out some for the drive and faded. MINNESOTA MOON prompted the early pace, was two wide on the second bend, brushed from the rear by DIAMND CON SUERTE with two furlongs left and gave way through the stretch. KRUELESS displayed brief speed from inside, quit after a half mile, distanced himself from the field through the stretch and walked off after crossing the wire. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC.
