Chart notes
CAPTIVATING STAR stalked the pace, rallied five wide entering the stretch, got a head in front, inched clear and held under pressure. VINEAUX hesitated at the start to be off slowly, was unhurried early, advanced on the turn, angled out for the drive and found his best stride late to get up for place. CLASSICAL KNIGHT lagged early in an outside trip, went eight wide entering the stretch and finished well to earn show. VICTORY PRINCE was crowded into the first turn, raced close to the pace towards the outside, bid seven wide entering the stretch and hung. HE'S EXAGGERATING set the pace, responded to duel and faltered near the sixteenth pole. WHOLELOTTADEAL raced close to the pace along the inside, bid off the rail and lacked a late response. EMILY'S BOY was void of early speed, bid along the rail on the second turn and failed to menace. MARDI GRAS EMPIRE was in tight and broke stride on the first turn, steadied along the backstretch, bid in traffic and bumped near the sixteenth pole. MOGUMBEAUX was steadied after the start and failed to menace in an even effort. KILN MOONSHINE pressed the pace, challenged on the turn, dueled to mid stretch, stopped and bumped near the sixteenth pole. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
