Chart notes

TROPIC STORM vied two wide and between horses, led in upper stretch and drove clear at the furlong grounds. STAND FOR FREEDOM tracked along the inside, chased on his left lead in upper stretch, split tiring rivals at the furlong grounds, gained place at the sixteenth pole, drifted out soon after but lasted for that position from an inner bidder late. CRIMINAL DEFENSE broke slowly, lagged behind and rallied belatedly between horses. MUST BE LOVE sparred for the lead inside of a pair of rivals but weakened in midstretch. READY PURSUIT broke a step slow, raced off of the pace in the five to six path around the turn and moved up. BOLSHIE prompted three wide, vied around the turn, yielded entering the lane and tired between horses. RIVER BOY chased from midpack two wide but faded in the three to four path around the turn. COMMANDO JOE bobbled and broke outwardly at the start, lacked speed in the six to seven path around the turn and tired. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
