Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

TOPF ROAD RULES away in good order, set the pace inside, rated kindly in the run up the backstretch, asked along into the lane, roused midstretch, held the runner up at bay in the final strides. BELLAMYS ROAN four wide onto the backstretch, chased into the far the turn, three wide through that bend, continued in pursuit of the winner past the furlong marker, gained final strides, too late. TRAFFIC CONTROL forwardly placed inside, saved ground while losing some position in the second turn, proved no match for the top two through the stretch, clear of the others. GHOST STRATEGY lacked early foot off the inside, raced in traffic far turn, dropped inside later in that bend, steered out midstretch, improved position with some belated interest. FORSAKEN four wide into the first turn, prompted the issue the middle half mile, weakened through the stretch. KILGORE lacked early speed, dropped inside midway on the second turn to improve into the stretch, flattened out in the drive. SERBIAN SAILOR off the pace well wide, was five wide into the far turn, worked way down three wide entering the stretch, lacked a response. CHALECO last to leave, raced back and failed to menace. WHELEN SPRINGS mid pack while racing off the inside, was three wide and in some traffic second turn, had nothing for the drive. SOUTHERN PECAN in the second flight off the inside, gave way in traffic while three wide in the far turn. ACCEL JOE remained always back, lost contact with the field late, jogged in. I STAN FOR LOVE gave way before a half, also lost contact with the field in the stretch, jogged in as well.
