Florida Sire Affirmed S. Black Type

Chart notes

KHOZALITE was prominent away from the start, stalked the decent pace along the backstretch, went up and confronted the pacesetter into the turn, took command nearing the quarter marker then kicked clear into the stretch, kept to task into the final furlong and drew off in the late stages under steady urging. SQUIRE was forwardly placed in the early running, tracked the pace three deep and between rivals heading to the turn, chased four wide to the quarter marker then ran in pursuit to upper stretch, was no match for the winner into the final sixteenth but ran on late to be second best. STRATEGIC RISK was well placed while along the rail in the early going, tracked the solid pace to the turn then angled three wide nearing the quarter marker, bid to upper stretch and was turned away nearing the furlong grounds, ran on into the final sixteenth, could not keep pace with the top pair late and just held for third at the wire. HAWK raced close up to the early pace while between rivals, tracked two wide into the turn, gave chase into upper stretch, could not find more into the final furlong, weakened late and just missed for third. TRELAWNY had his head turned then hopped at the start and was off slowly, settled off of the solid early pace, asked for run three wide to the stretch, could not produce the needed response in the stretch but stayed on to improve position late. ALL TO WIN settled in the second flight, was well placed while tracking four wide into the turn, spun five wide for the stretch drive then could not muster the needed late response. I'M TUFF ENOUGH settled off of the solid early pace, swung five to six wide for the stretch drive, needed more in the final furlong and passed tiring rivals in the late stages. HE'S MY UNCLE settled off of the early pace, saved ground into the turn, coaxed three wide to upper stretch, no threat late. MICANOPY lacked early speed, coaxed three then two wide into the turn, angled widest for the stretch drive and did not factor in the late stages. WOOTUN was hustled for the early lead, showed good speed up the backstretch then showed the way into the turn, was overtaken nearing the quarter marker, could not keep pace to upper stretch and tired in the drive. CAMIGOL settled in the second flight to begin, was coaxed four wide to the turn, lost position while three wide nearing the quarter marker then trailed to upper stretch, was eased through the lane and walked off.
