Chart notes

ASTROLOGYSPROTEGE vied for the early lead, saved ground, drove clear down the stretch and was kept to the task. ACHROMEDOUTCAT challenged on the front end, proved no match late for the winner, but was a clear second. F T W SLAM raced near the middle of the field in the beginning, came around the turn on the outside, made a wide bid and proved no match for the top two. G'WILDCAT raced in the middle of the pack, made a mild bid, but was no factor. LAURI'S WISH raced within striking distance, came around the turn on the outside and faded. LEOBOBANNA raced within contention, weakened and lacked a late kick. AVERY'S GEM raced evenly near the back, finished wide and was no threat. TAKE CHARGE J J void of early speed, moved up, but was no threat. MAJORITY OPINION always raced near the back and was never close. GIVEMEASECOND pressed the early pace and made a steady retreat. LOUISIANA JESS raced in the back, trailed and was outrun. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
