Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

B MINOR brushed an outer foe at the start, tracked in midpack in the two path, shifted three wide while commencing a gain turning for home, fanned to the five path entering the lane, failed progress through upper stretch, but produced a late kick in the final furlong as pace setting foes tired, and reeled in the leaders at the wire. PRESIDER stalked four to three wide, ranged up to vie outside of the leading pair at the five sixteenths pole, but was turned away by his innermost counterpart entering the lane, sustained chasing position through midstretch, came again when the leader faltered in the final sixteenth, produced a re-bid nearing the wire, led very late, but was nailed at the wire. CYCLONE MISCHIEF vied for the lead two wide and between horses before clearing an inner rival approaching the five furlong pole, clung to an advantage from a pair of outer vying rivals turning for home, shook clear of them entering the lane, maintained a clear margin through midstretch, but began to tire in the final furlong, faltered in the final sixteenth, and was worn down by a pair of foes at the wire. RECKER POINT laid close up along the inside, backed off to stalk leaving the six furlong pole, but failed to sustain pocket position around the turn, yielded turning for home, yet regained stride along the rail passing the three sixteenths pole, and stayed on well thereafter. WADSWORTH was a bit crowded between horses passing the seven furlong pole, stalked two wide and between horses down the backstretch, chased the leading trio while under coaxing from the two path turning for home, shifted to the three path in upper stretch while failing to keep pace with the leaders, and yielded. SOLOMON VANDY saved ground towards the rear, shifted to the three path in upper stretch, and moved up without menacing. WELAKA vied for the lead three to two wide, then from between horses leaving the three furlong pole as an outer rival joined the fray, then weakened entering the lane. FACE VALUE tracked in midpack four wide, but tired. IDRATHERBEBLESSED bobbled subtly at the start, and never threatened. PROSECUTION laid off of the pace in the five path, came under urging at the half mile pole, and never got involved. KICKSANDGIGGLES was void of early speed, through after a half mile, and eased through the lane.
