Chart notes

U DEVIL YOU stalked from the four path, leaned to the five path entering the lane, ranged up to bid in midstretch, but leaned in subtly and bumped with an inner foe in the process then drove clear. OWEN ALMIGHTY laid off of the pace in the three path, advanced between horses entering the lane, inched closer in the four path in upper stretch, but was bumped between horses and steadied in tight quarters while attempting a bid at the furlong grounds, recovered and kept on to reel in place nearing the wire. THIS IS USCAR led narrowly in the two path while vying with an outer rival into and around the turn, sparred gamely with that one through upper stretch, but drifted out and bothered that foe at the furlong grounds, put another outer rival in tight in the aftermath, yielded then lost place late. FURIO vied for the lead with an inner foe while kept in the three path, dueled through upper stretch, but was floated into an outer foe by an inner drifter and was forced to steady between horses at the furlong grounds, then weakened. ECHO AGAIN trailed in the four path then moved up between horses in midstretch. HOLD MY BOURBON chased forwardly along the inside then gave way. DR. SAIKALI pursued from the five path, floated to the six path into the lane and tired. LIGHT THE WAY tracked two wide and between horses, chased around the bend then faded. THE RIDER OF FURIO CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST THE TOP THREE FINISHERS;THE RIDER OF OWEN ALMIGHTY CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST U DEVIL YOU; BOTH ALLEGED INTERFERENCE IN MIDSTRETCH. FOLLOWING THE OBJECTIONS, AS WELL AS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY, THIS IS USCAR WAS DISQUALIFIED AND PLACED FOURTH. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
