Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

TIGER HUNTER tracked the pace three wide between horses, bid outside of RED WAVE near the nine sixteenths, headed that foe near the half, opened up in the two path, kept on under a drive in the lane and held firm. RED WAVE broke well and soon led, was engaged by TIGER HUNTER near the nine sixteenths, could not hold him at bay past the half, appeared to be flattening out after being headed but found enough to chase on, shift out into upper stretch, and sustain enough interest to hold off GUEST CHECK and save place. GUEST CHECK raced inside in range through the clubhouse turn and down the back straight, was pushed along inside of SIR BAMABUS into the far turn, took up near the three eighths while in tight between RED WAVE and the rail, shifted out to the three path to chase the leading trio, rallied three wide in the lane, and missed the place. SPEEDY DAREDEVIL broke outward and lightly bumped SIR BARNABUS, settled at the rear of the main group just behind the four-deep chasing flight, bid three wide into the far turn, tracked in closest range of the leader around the bend, floated four wide into the lane and flattened. HONEY'S SUPERMAN soon trailed, was pushed along in the four path on the far turn and began to improve slightly, chased on mildly in the lane but ultimately proved no threat. SIR BARNABUS was lightly bumped by SPEEDY DAREDEVIL in the opening strides, raced very keenly between horses around the clubhouse turn and into the backstretch, settled back to the rear of the main group near the half, was urged around the far turn but began to weaken and proved empty when driven in upper stretch. UNCLE AL'S PAL raced four wide into the clubhouse turn in the tracking flight, continued four wide into the back straight, began to flatten out near the half, faded around the far turn and was allowed to trail home.
