Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

BOWMAN'S RUN rated kindly finding a nice position all alone watching the front three down the backside, was content to be well back of the loose leader through the turn, then was asked for run seven wide at the top of the lane, started to narrow the margin in mid-stretch, swept on past outside at the sixteenth pole and was going away at the finish line for the win. WELLER GREEN settled in mid-pack on the inside, was nudged at the three eighths marker gathering momentum on the rail, had run in the two path with a quarter mile remaining, found his best stride late shifting out four wide at the sixteenth pole and got up at the wire to best the rest. MOTION GRANTED was jostled between foes on the break, was coaxed to seize control clearing to the rail at the seven-furlong marker, opened up on the turn setting a strong pace, still had a commanding lead in the three path at the quarter pole, began to shorten stride with three sixteenths to go, offered no resistance to the winner with a sixteenth to run and faded late to just miss holding on for the place share at the wire. SPRUNG LOOSE was allowed to settle into stride trailing at the start, improved early in the turn inside rivals, shifted out with three furlongs to go reaching for more ground and finished up willing outside foes to win the duel for the minors in deep strech. ARYEH broke in on the start, settled outside in midfield, was roused for more midturn offering a mild run, angled out five wide for the drive and finished up evenly to the wire but lost the battle for the minors. ENGLISH JUBILEE stalked three deep on the outside near the rear, began to lengthen stride three wide on the outside with three furlongs to go, shifted out to the six path turning for home and ran on mildly to pass some runners in the late stages. CONNOR broke in on the start, tracked outside down the backstretch, chased the leader while inside a fellow rival on the turn, closed the gap by the quarter pole but yielded five wide between foes with an eighth left to go. FROGINAPOND stalked close to the back between runners, made no progression around the bend saving ground and could not get involved running on the fence down the stretch. ONE LAST KISS had a good spot watching the top two while travelling outside in the early stages, was in the mix six wide for a share of the prize in upper stretch, could not carry on and faltered at the furlong marker. MUCHO MAGNIFICO settled at the back of the pack with rivals on both sides along the backside, could not keep up to horses at the rear through the turn and lost touch with the group in upper stretch.
