Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

IN A MINUTE showed the way in hand three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to be near the inside through the turn, remained patiently handled taking the inside route into upper stretch, got roused at the three-sixteenths, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in and held well and safe to prevail. JANSSEN five wide in aim of the leader down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick to close in willingly at the end. SOLO TONIGHT coaxed from the gate, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung five to six wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to secure the show honors. HAIR ON FIRE coaxed from the start, chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung six wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild bid. SEBA M got bumped at the start by TRIPLE WORD SCORE and then ricocheted off FINANCIER bumping TRIPLE WORD SCORE back when pinched out at the start, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid but was outfinished in the late stages. DIANNESRETIRING chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung five wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. TRIPLE WORD SCORE broke in at the start bumping SEBA M into FINANCIER, then got bumped and squeezed out when that middle rival bounced off FINANCIER, chased five paths off the inside until tucked three wide through the turn, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and made no impact. BIG HUTCHY chased along the inside and then just off the inside under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. FINANCIER got bumped at the start by SEBA M due to pressure from TRIPLE WORD SCORE breaking inwards and bumped that foe back outwards when under coaxing, chased three then two wide under a ride from the three-eighths, tipped four wide into upper stretch and faltered in the drive. MONTAUK SURF veered in at the start, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, swung four wide for home and trailed throughout.
