Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

MIDNIGHT STROLL vied for command between foes a bit off the inside racing to the backstretch, dueled for command inside a rival on the far turn, tipped out while gaining a clear advantage racing into upper stretch and held sway to the end under firm handling. QUALITY tracked off the first flight outside a rival racing to the backstretch, shifted to the four path racing through the far turn while being urged to advance, then continued in that path to the end while edging a rival for the place honors. TAKE A STAND joined the pace four wide racing to the first turn, shifted inwards nearing the second bend to press the issue outside the eventual winner through the far turn, continued in pursuit of that foe in the three path into the lane, then angled inwards late to just lose second nearing the wire. UNBRIDLED ENSIGN, bumped at the start, was urged inside rivals prompting the pacesetter to the backstretch, continued in pursuit of the leaders into the far turn and gave way late. AULENTI broke outwards bumping UNBRIDLED DESIGN at the start, was collected to track off the first flight near the inside to the backstretch, came under pressure to advance nearing the far turn but steadily faded after five furlongs. SWEET SENSATION broke slowly losing position to the field and never menaced thereafter. MAJESTIC UNION was urged three wide between foes prompting the pace from the outset to the backstretch but gave way after a half.
