Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

THIS ILL DEFEND narrowly escaped some contact in the shadow of the starting gate, sat reserved three wide on the turn, tipped out into the four path late on the bend in preparation for the drive home, challenged in earnest entering the top of the lane, took charge during the run leading up to and then through the furlong grounds and kicked clear. RATIFY put to a snug hold tracking the front runners from the pocket, got roused swinging to the outside for the drive, was worked into path four from upper to midstretch, rallied for the place. FRENCH TOAST bumped from both sides, was in path two vying from between foes for nearly three-quarters, was under a ride spinning into the lane, saw the top one take control soon afterwards, backed away in the final furlong. RETICENT bumped at the start, pursued the pace three wide on the turn, got maneuvered to the inside at the five-sixteenths pole, cut the corner with clearance after several others had chosen wider paths for entrance into the stretch, mustered up a mild response. MY FIRST GRAMMY bumped at the start, assumed a forward position, was along the rail, contending for the top as the innermost of three for six furlongs, stepped into the stretch and faltered. ZUZUDINI went over to the rail, rode it until the end of the bend, was asked to pick it up at the five-sixteenths pole, angled four wide into t he stretch, made no impact. ORPHAN HALLIE strung out three to four wide, got moved out into path five entering the stretch, gave way. A GRAY FOR CAROLYN travelled two to three wide on the turn, swung out five wide into the stretch, lacked the necessary response. FIXATION three wide contending for the top versus a pair of opponents to his inside, folded. TRUE PALACE four wide onto the turn, went into path six exiting it, trailed. All riders carried an additional two pounds in accordance with a weather-related safety initiative. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
