Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

DIOMEDES broke out, bumping the outside foe on the start, took command into the first turn, set the pace along the backside, briefly lost the lead to an outside rival at the quarter pole and resurged in the stretch to win the duel to the wire inside for the victory. CABERNAYDO was situated on the fence near the rear in the first bend, shifted outside in the three path at the half starting to rally, made a quick move circling rivals at the seven sixteenths pole, momentarily poke his head in front outside out the quarter pole, battled with the very game winner in the stretch but was denied at the wire. QUIET KNIGHT hopped on the break, stalked close to the back outside horses, improved three wide outside rivals down the back straight, ran evenly three wide around the final bend, swung out to the four path turning for home and found his best stride late to close in smartly to the wire to get up for third money. HELLO LADIES stalked in the third tier outside a rival in the first turn, made an early move three deep to press the pace at the half, chased the winner while between runners in the far turn and was one paced in the stretch to hold for a minor share. DUBAWI BULL stalked two wide outside foes to begin, made no progress in the middle stages of the race, angled out five wide at the top of the lane and showed some interest late to pass weary foes to the finish line. REBEL FAITH tracked on the rail in the first of two turns, was reined back to settle on the fence in midfield along the backside, was urged for more run three eighths out, could not keep up with the leaders through the far turn and failed to menace in the stretch drive. GOOD POINT stalked on the inside in the third flight into the first turn, kept a close eye on the lead trio at the half, began to edge closer when scrubbed on at the three furlong pole, was in range in the four path for the stretch running but could not go on and retreated at the sixteenth pole inside of rivals. BEE ME broke in, exchanging bumps with the inside rival on the start, tracked outside in the early stages, watched the embattled trio while nestled on the fence at the quarter pole, was taken a hold of losing its path on the rail nearing the furlong marker and weakened in deep stretch. REDNECK REBEL had a tardy start to trail on the fence, caught up to the pack inside by the half but could not be a presence in the running down the stretch.
