Chart notes

GOOD LOVIN dueled on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the turn from the three path and edged clear in the stretch. TSUNAMI GOLD bumped with the horse to his inside at the start, recovered to duel up the rail through the opening quarter, continued to battle while saving ground around the bend and could not go with the winner in late stretch but chased that rival to the finish. WE NEED MARKETING tracked the leader on the inside up the backstretch, came around the turn in the two and three path and kept on to the wire. VINNIEBOB bumped with the horse to his outside leaving the gate, stalked the leaders up the backstretch, raced in the three path around the turn and was outkicked in the final furlong. PER RULING ECM2026-13 FROM HIWU, TSUNAMI GOLD WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM SECOND TO UNPLACED DUE TO A MEICATION VIOLATION.
