Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

AFTER EIGHT set the pace in the two path while unpressured entering the backstretch, felt light tension from a pair of outer rivals around the turn while remaining well in hand, then drew off once set down entering the lane, and was eased up in the final sixteenth to win with a safe margin. FREYDIS THE RED (FR) tracked two wide, shifted four wide entering the lane, rallied to gain place at the furlong grounds, and held off an outer rival for that position while slowly closing in on the clear leader. TIME TO RACE trailed along the inside, shifted out around the far turn, fanned eight wide entering the lane, rallied to gain place approaching the final sixteenth, but was kept at bay from reaching place. BOLTORO settled off of the pace in the three path and between horses, shifted out to the five path in midstretch, and moved up among foes. GOLDEN RUNNER rated off of the pace in the two path, saved ground around the far turn , rallied two wide and between horses in upper stretch, tipped in at the furlong grounds in hopes of sustaining a bid for minor rewards, but flattened out. ROSY TOMORROWS was hung in the four path while off of the pace, swung seven wide entering the lane, and only offered a mild kick. SUMMERTIME ROSE pursued from midpack in the three path and between horses, shifted five wide entering the lane, but was outkicked by rivals on both sides nearing midstretch, and lacked a bid. ASTRILA stalked along the inside, gained place while shifting off of the rail at the three sixteenths pole, but was outkicked for that position at the furlong grounds, and faltered. MENDED WE STAND stalked in the four path, ranged up in the three path around the far turn, but quickly failed to keep pace with the leader in upper stretch, and folded between horses at the furlong grounds. ROYAL BLOOD stalked in the three path and between horses, but required urging to maintain forward position in the tow path around the far turn, failed to keep pace with the leader in upper stretch, and caved through the final furlong. RED JAG tracked in midpack along the inside as the rider grabbed a hold around the first turn, then saved ground, but to no avail. MISCHIEVOUS GAL pursued from midpack four wide, shifted six wide entering the lane, and tired on his left lead.
