Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

HEAVY WEIGHT was urged to the lead along the rail racing to the first turn, dictated the pace on a narrow advantage to the far turn, turned back a rival's challenge while drifting well out in upper stretch, swerved inwards under pressure while being roused to resist the bid of TAPINTOYOURBEER bumping that rival soundly near the sixteenth marker and just prevailed under brisk handling. The latter tracked off the first flight outside a rival to the backstretch, steadily advanced on the leader three deep between foes entering the stretch to bid for command inside that foe, was bumped soundly while knocked off stride racing past the sixteenth marker and was just outfinished. ARIES REIGNS was settled racing to the backstretch while dropping out last, split foes on the far turn gathering momentum, swung out four wide racing into upper stretch and continued willingly to close the gap on the top pair. TELECAST tracked off the first flight inside foes, saved ground to upper stretch while being prompted to advance but had no final bid. GOLDEN WONDER broke slowly, raced wide to the backstretch and proved no threat. WOOTDAREITIS, urged prompting the pacesetter from the outset to the far turn, gave way into upper stretch. FOLLOWING THE RACE THE RIDER OF TAPINTOYOURBEER LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST THE RIDER OF HEAVY WEIGHT WHILE THE STEWARDS CONDUCTED A CONCURRENT INQUIRY. AFTER REVIEWING THE STRETCH RUN, THE STEWARDS DISQUALIFIED HEAVY WEIGHT FOR INTERFERENCE, PLACING HIM SECOND.
