Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

SUGARLAND EXPRESS lacked early foot, shuffled back further into the turn along the inside, regrouped and steered out when advancing three wide into the straight, engaged the leaders nearing the furlong marker from the outside, proved best in determined fashion. KING LIAM off early pace, advanced through some traffic, challenged between rivals past the furlong marker, outkicked by the winner late, clearly second best. BENBOW CAT bumped, pushed out into another foe at the break, quickly recovered to race with the early pace off the inside, briefly shook clear late in the turn, narrowly showed the way upper stretch, offered only brief resistance to the top two past the furlong pole, weakened and narrowly held the show. MIZSPELT in mid pack early, came in slightly into the turn putting the winner in a bit tight, advanced through the turn, dropped inside nearing midstretch to bother a tiring PIONEER PRIDE then failed to sustain his advance the final furlong. SPRY CHARLIE lacked early foot, moved inside, saved ground turn, continued inside and improved position through the stretch while not a serious threat. PRODUCTION TIME lacked early foot, failed to muster a serious response when called on for the drive. PIONEER PRIDE with the early pace along the inside, steadied entering the turn, began to falter soon after, was continuing to tire when put in tight by MIZSPELT with a furlong remaining. SINGLE SHOT forwardly placed early outside, steadied when appearing to get some inside pressure into the turn four wide, five wide into the lane, faded. JET PUFFED broke out, bumped with BENBOW CAT, raced in mid pack for three furlongs and had little left. EL MIC TIESUN pushed out at the break, was sluggish in falling far back, never involved. Copyright 2026 Equibase Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
