Chart notes

EXUDE was unhurried on the fence being part of the back trio in the early stages, shared the rear saving all the ground midway around the turn, closed the gap gathering speed swinging out widest in the six path with a quarter mile to run, drove by sharply outside by the sixteenth pole and won going away when crossing the finish line. SOUTHERN STYLE was going three deep at the back end with two inside runners in the early going, started to reach for more ground four wide at the half mile marker, angled to the five path in the hunt at the top of the stretch, briefly took control between runners with a furlong from home but did not have enough left late to fend off the winner outside in the last sixteenth of a mile. KING ROSSO had a stalking trip settling in mid-field along the backside, made no movement travelling one paced around the bend, had the four path turning for home, shifted out off tiring runners to be six wide getting clear run at the furlong pole and closed in belatedly in deep stretch to capture the show award. SPRUNG LOOSE had a nice set up sitting on the rail all alone watching the contesting front pair up top down the backside and throughout the turn, shifted out coming to the lead duo at the three eighths pole, had the four path with horses on either side in the conversation for the top spot in upper stretch but needed more late when fading in the final furlong to settle on the fringes in the end. QUIET VISTA broke in a touch on the start, shared the rear between rivals along the backside, co-trailed outside with the eventual winner early in the turn running, could see the field skimming the fence straightening out for the drive and managed to only pass the leg weary early leaders who were spent fighting for the lead in the beginning that were tiring by the furlong marker. PRIVATE LABEL was brushed on the outside slightly on the break, recovered to duel inside down the backstretch for the top spot, continued to throw it down with a pesky outside foe quickening the tempo on the turn, shifted to the two path clinging onto the lead with outside runners bearing down at the head of the lane, had nothing left in the tank for the drive and yielded inside by the furlong marker. MOTION GRANTED was roused battling outside with intent on the lead along the back straight, still was being coaxed fighting outside throughout the turn with an inside foe on the front end, had the three path between horses starting to shorten stride by the quarter pole and came up empty folding with runners on both sides in the final furlong. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC.
