Chart notes

HIGHLAND CREEK pressed the pace, made a bid around the final turn, made a bid, four wide and proved the best. THUNDERHAWK bobbled at the start, pressed the pace, eased back, came back down the stretch on the rail and was outfinished for the win. FINAL HALF vied for the early lead, drove clear down the backside, saved ground around the final turn and was outfinished, while putting forth a game effort. AMBRIDGE broke in, raced within contention, came around the second turn on the outside and lacked a kick. GAMER NATE raced near the middle of the field, came down the stretch wide and finished evenly. YOCKEY'S DRIVETHRU raced near the middle of the pack, weakened and was no threat late. ZAVALA broke out, bumped and raced evenly near the back. GUNS void of early speed and was never close. AMERICAN XPERIMENT dueled for the early lead, saved ground and faded. HE IS HEAVEN SENT always raced near the back and showed little. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
