Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

WISHES AND DREAMS away last after tossing its head about prior to being sprung from the starting gate, proceeded along in a sluggish manner on the backstretch, got maneuvered into the three path coming up to the midway point on the turn, noticeably picked up interest a sixteenth down the road, angled five wide into the lane, charged by the front runners, then drew off convincingly in the final furlong, under the mildest of drives. YES YOUR HONOR pursued the pace two wide after losing her footing springing from the gate, was in the same path heading home, mustered up a response sufficient enough to be along for the place. WOMEN NOT EASY moved into a prominent position in short order, cut over to the inside, vied for command matched up LUCKY LINDSEY from the outside, pulling a bit on the bit, with the pilot aware of a rider-less foe in the vicinity all the while, continued to go at it under the same scenario with LUCKY LINDSEY, checked when put in tight by a rider-less BASTET in the general area of the five-sixteenths pole, recovered after a few jumps and saw the rider go to work, wandered into the three path in upper stretch, proved powerless to hold off the top one, weakened into the show slot. MIA CALIA four wide departing the backstretch, went into path six exiting the turn, made no impact en route for the final significant slice of the pot. LUCKY LINDSEY got guided towards the two path after the start, raced teamed up with WOMEN NOT EASY, rider casting intermittent furtive glances at the loose horse a short distance behind, ventured onward as a team with WOMEN NOT EASY once onto the turn, rider still glancing at the horse-without-a-rider, was steadied when put in tight by that one right around the five-sixteenths pole, angled four wide after completing the rest of the way to the end of the bend, backed away. HERE COMES MEG cut over to the rail after bumping with BASTET very shortly after the field had been sent on its way, rode it for nearly a half, shifted three wide into the lane, had no offering. BASTET off cleanly, made contact with HERE COMES MEG right afterwards, then stumbled after taking an awkward step, losing the rider in the process, unfortunately made her presence felt at intervals during the running of the race, was walked off after being apprehended by an outrider. Following a Stewards' Inquiry focusing on the incident right after the start, the result was allowed to stand and the race was declared official.
