Chart notes

RODRIGOKNOWS got bumped at the start, settled outside a rival, closed in two then three wide on the turn, challenged three deep into the lane, grabbed the lead midstretch and held over rivals on both sides. MOMENT OF VALOR tracked from inside, saved ground to the stretch, roused at the top of the lane, moved off the rail a bit, rallied inside the leaders, closed gamely to the wire but ran out of ground. GOT'M COT'M was off slow and took up behind rivals at the start, had one beat racing in the two path into the turn, moved to the three path past the five-sixteenths pole, angled out into the clear to unleash a rally, came with a late rush but was not enough. COURTSIDE ACTION followed in range up the backstretch, bumped with inner rival three deep at the three-eighths pole, bid outside the leader on the turn, took over in upper stretch but got outkicked by the top trio in the late stages. DISKO TRIBUTE vied for the lead from inside then stalked leaving the backstretch, hugged the rail to the stretch, moved off the fence in the lane and lacked a bid. SPEED OF ELON sat off the pace on the inside, moved to the two path nearing the quarter pole and failed to produce a bid. BALLYVAUGHAN GIG vied between rivals for a bit then stalked past the half-mile pole, bumped with outer rival into the turn, continued two wide to the stretch and weakened. SAUL ELLIOTT broke in and bumped CHECK'S ON THE WAY, took a short lead outside a pair of rivals then cleared leaving the backstretch and angled in, challenged by outer rival nearing the quarter pole, yielded in upper stretch and folded in the furlong grounds. CHECK'S ON THE WAY bumped leaving the gate, trailed on the inside to the stretch, moved off the fence in the lane and was never a factor. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
