Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

NANTUCKETS DAY settled on the rail in mid-pack, shifted just outside making no advance galloping along in the two path down the backside, edged closer two wide through the far turn, shifted to the three path making a smart move in upper stretch, shifted four wide reaching for more ground with an eighth left to go and with a strong late kick prevailed in a photo at the finish line. SACCHARINE co-trailed on the outside, began to pick up horses three wide at the three furlong marker, swung out to the six path finding her best stride late, was full of run in deep stretch but was denied by the winner in a tight finish at the wire. WHY EM SEA AY tracked in the second flight on the outside, closed in to battle three wide outside two other foes at the quarter pole for the lead, drifted out five wide carrying momentum at the top of the stretch, came back on three wide with a furlong left to run to be in the mix up top at the seventy yard pole but was outfinished late showing a game effort in deep stretch. DAY DAWNING flanked the pacesetter under a snug hold outside, moved in vying between runners for the lead in the two path midway around the last turn, dug in determinedly down the stretch to have a slim advantage with rivals on both sides at the eighth pole and gave way grudgingly in the two path in the final seventy yards. WHAPPEN was away alertly setting the pace on the fence, dictated terms up front on the inside down the backside, was headed outside with five sixteenths to go with two other rivals, dueled stubbornly on the fence until the furlong marker and flattened out late to dead heat for the fifth money. QUALITY PRESENCE co-trailed on the inside in the early stages, began to pass runners three wide at the top of the stretch and finished up mildly in the final furlong to get up sharing for the fifth-place position. MCKENZIE ROAD sat behind the frontrunner on the rail tracking, was urged around the far turn keeping pace while on the fence, kept trying on the inside down the lane but weakened in the final eighth of a mile. PLAISIR D'AMOUR stalked near the rear on the outside, improved going three deep outside rivals down the back straight, offered a brief rally around foes four wide with three eighths remaining, could not continue the run and yielded to others on either side by the quarter pole. RUSH TO GLORY stalked in the third tier on the outside, made little progression between rivals three wide midpoint around the final bend, angled out five wide for the drive but lost its path at the eighth pole and could not recoup to play a role late.
