Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

FARADAY angled in towards the rear while taken in hand, was reserved towards the back in the two then three path, came under encouragement in the four path on the final turn, spun five wide into the stretch then leaned inward a bit, rallied into the final furlong, dove in from behind horses while closing fast into the final sixteenth and got up inside a bumping duo in the final strides to prevail. SMART UNCLE was bumped in the hindquarters at the start, went to the front, showed the way on the inside, lost the lead briefly outside the seven-eighths pole, regained the advantage on the second turn, moved clear with five furlongs to run, was asked with a half-mile to go, saved ground around the final turn, spun off the rail under pressure into the stretch, responded well under a drive into the final sixteenth, came out one path under a left-handed crop four strides from the wire and bumped hard with SWORE who had drifted in several paths to come alongside, was taken up through the contact and denied but just held second. SWORE was reserved while saving ground through the first two turns, came under urging in the two path on the final turn, swung five wide into the stretch under a left-handed crop, rallied outside into the final furlong, began to drift in when flashed with a right-handed crop coming to the sixteenth-pole, was given one pop of a right-handed crop into the final sixteenth, came in three paths more while coming to SMART UNCLE under hand-urging, collided while meeting up with that foe who came out one path four strides from the wire, was taken up while recovering and just missed but was clear for the show. TOOFAREASTISWEST settled on the outside in the three to four path without the benefit of cover, was roused on the final turn, gained to make an outside bid in upper stretch, battled under a drive into the final furlong and was out-kicked. TYPHOON LAGOON was hustled from the gate, went three wide on the first turn, settled just off the pace in the two path, was asked near the five-sixteenths pole, turned into upper stretch under a drive and lacked the needed response. SACRED RHYME broke in and bumped with a foe then was taken up, was reserved at the rear while inside to the two path, moved from the three path to the five path on the final turn, came six wide into the stretch and was no factor. ASTHROS was asked some leaving the gate, went four then three wide on the first turn, settled off the pace, traveled around the second turn in the two path, was roused three wide on the final turn then driven four wide into the stretch and lacked the needed response. WILD GUESS stalked the pace on the outside in the three path, drifted out while passing the wire for the first time, took a brief and short lead outside the seven-eighths then lost the advantage again, dropped back with five furlongs to run, chased inside on the final turn and tired. PILKINGTON moved in while taken under a tight hold near the back, saved ground around the first two turns, was reserved towards the rear, went around the final turn in the two path, spun three wide into the stretch and failed to threaten. BEE WELL was away awkwardly then hustled, went around the first turn in the two path, was well placed just off the pace on the inside, came under urging late on the backstretch, dropped back while crowded some with three furlongs to run and faltered. FOLLOWING A STEWARDS' INQUIRY AND A JOCKEY CLAIM OF FOUL BY THE RIDER OF SWORE ALLEGING INTERFERENCE FROM SMART UNCLE NEARING THE WIRE, SMART UNCLE WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM SECOND AND PLACED THIRD
