Chart notes

RUN RUDOLF broke inward towards the gap and was a bit slow into stride as the rider corrected then made steady forward progress down the backstretch, moved out to the three path for clear run through the turn, tipped out five wide for the stretch run and was going the best late to be along for the win. JOE DON LOONEY made light contact with NICE GUY EDDIE at the break, was up close with the three contesting the early lead then backed out, tracked from a couple of lengths behind, responded when set down with three furlongs to run, encountered some traffic in deep stretch but surged through an opening in the final yards to gain the place. MEANT FOR ME raced between horses in the trio contesting the early pace, kept close as LUCKY SMILE took a short lead in upper stretch, finished willingly but came up short at the wire. LUCKY SMILE broke in and made some contact with XTREME MAYHEM but made the lead, then joined by MEANT FOR ME and CROCODILE TEARS to the outside, held a short lead over those two through the turn and into the stretch, opened up a short lead, held on desperately while tiring in deep stretch but was overtaken in the final yards. CROCODILE TEARS came away well from the break and vied for the early lead three wide down the backstretch, came four wide into the stretch, had trouble with the lead change and faltered. NICE GUY EDDIE broke out and brushed with JOE DON LOONEY, raced three wide throughout, was never a threat but passed a couple of tired ones in the final furlong. XTREME MAYHEM took some contact from LUCKY SMILE at the break then was ridden to move closer before the turn, was already under drive passing the three furlong pole but was unable to improve and weakened in the stretch. RONAMO lacked any early speed, was always outrun. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
