Chart notes

JUSTIN SMILES tracked in the two path, ranged up to bid while under a ride in the three path passing the quarter, made a sweeping move to take command while angling into the two path at the top of the lane, and kicked clear. KNICK'S HONOR set the pace in the two path, was ridden into the far turn, got headed by an outer foe passing the quarter, got overtaken by the winner at the top of the stretch, but kept on to hold place in a photo. INDE ROSE raced off the pace in the two path, was roused midway around the far turn, angled out to the five path at the top of the lane, ran on late for show, but just missed the place bob. HIGH YIELD HUNK settled in midpack from the two path up the backstretch, was ridden into the far turn, and finished evenly down the stretch. DEEP STAR trailed in the three path, was driven in the two path around the far turn, angled out to the five path passing the eighth pole, and passed a tired inner pair. DISTINCT pressed the pace in the three path, led between foes in the two path passing the quarter, but gave way down the stretch. EFATA threw his head as the gates opened and broke slowly, rated inside but weakened in the stretch. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
