Chart notes

BERKUS (FR) stalked the early leaders, was a factor on the turn and from the five path at the top of the stretch was up in time. MAGICAL CHAMPAGNE set the pace and had the lead on the turn but with a clear lead in mid stretch was caught late. WAR EMPIRE was up close and forced the pace on the turn but from the three path at the top of the stretch was outfinished. FINAL RUN FOR LOVE was in range, saved ground on the turn and from the three path at the top of the stretch was up for a share. SUGAR DROP was in touch and raced evenly from the inside on the turn but from the three path at the top of the stretch had no late kick. J M R TURINO was off the pace and had a mild gain on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch leveled off. KOWBOYS SEQUEL tracked the early leaders from the outside but chased on the turn and from the six path at the top of the stretch was not a factor. NINO DE MAMA broke poorly and showed little in a dull effort. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
