Chart notes

PAULA'S CHOICE brushed between runners in the first turn, continued up the backstretch off the pace along the inside, ranged up through the second turn in order to make a two wide move at the quarter, secured a narrow lead at the sixteenth and dug in to hold off outer foe. BRYANT AND COOPER chose to trail the pack in the early stages, began asking at the three eighths before taking to the outside entering the stretch, put together an impressive rally to be heads apart from the leader at the sixteenth but was held off for a gamely finish. SHE TAKES CASH had a bit of an awkward start, raced off the pace two wide, launched a five wide bid rounding the far turn, took charge at the three sixteenths until giving way to incoming rivals on both sides at the sixteenth, ran on for a clear show. STARLIGHT DANCER crossed in three wide in the first turn to brush with PAULA'S CHOICE, raced off the pace two wide for the run up the backstretch, took to the outside entering the stretch but lacked the late kick necessary. MOBAY PRINCESS stalked the pace two wide, coaxed along through the second turn to eat away at the leader, claimed a brief lead at the quarter before being swallowed up by the rest. GALLEGA got brushed by outer foe in the first turn, gave chase along the inside up the backstretch, moved up in range four wide rounding the far turn but came up empty when called upon. ENDLESS VOW found a close up position two wide after the first turn, tipped three wide in the far turn, angled out while fading down the lane. STELLA FORTUNA showed the way along the inside, was roused about the three eighths as her lead began to diminish but lacked a response and faded down the lane. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC.
