Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

SHARP SHOT showed the way in the two path, met an outer challenge turning for home, drove clear of that one at the three sixteenths pole and drew off. MASTER OF THE NITE stalked the leader from the three path, bid outside of that one turning for home, but proved no match in upper stretch, then saved place from an outer late bidder. QUEBRANCHO was bumped by an inner rival into an outer foe and got rank in cramped quarters leaving the chute, tracked in the four path around the turn, ran on to bid for place in the final sixteenth but hung late. NO BRAKE NEEDED came in at the start and brushed a rival, saved ground off of the pace and moved up inside of foes. HIGH ALERT tracked along the inside, moved to the three path entering the lane and failed to menace. BATTLE BORN tracked two wide and between horses, pursued from the three path around the turn before floating to the five path entering the lane, then failed to threaten. PORT ROYAL steadied between horses leaving the chute, lacked speed in the four path, swung out to the seven path entering upper stretch and improved. LIQUOR TALK broke a step slow, raced at the rear just off the inside and made little impact. ELM STREET bumped an outer rival leaving the chute, stalked close up along the inside, chased around the turn then weakened between horses. SHANNONRUN broke a step slow before being bothered by an outer rival at the start, raced off of the pace in the three path and failed to factor. IF I WERE YOU prompted outside of rivals briefly, was lightly brushed by an inner foe leaving the chute and steadily faded thereafter. ERASMUS pursued from the five to six path and weakened.
