Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

TUTTI CONTENTI settled four deep watching the lone speed down the backside, moved in to prompt three wide outside foes up top in the turn, loomed a menacing presence five wide in upper stretch and relentlessly wore down the leader in the shadow of the wire for the win. INDY ONE tracked outside three wide with runners on both sides, edged closer two wide between rivals around the turn, seized command poking his head in front at the quarter pole, shifted to the four-path holding the lead in mid-stretch but just missed fending off the winner in the last few strides. BEE ME travelled in mid-division three wide between horses, mounted a rally three around foes five sixteenths from the wire, was reaching for more ground in the four-path straightening out for home, switched leads nearing the sixteenth pole and found more late to surge in the final seventy yards to capture the show money. DEMBA tracked the pacesetter in the two path between rivals, kept pace between runners in the second tier around the bend to be in range three wide at the top of the lane, battled for the show award in the stretch but evened out late to settle on the fringes. BARONS BLITZ had a stalking position close to the back of the pack on the rail, began to pick up runners shifting out between horses midway on the turn, swung out four wide taking closer order behind the dueling leaders in upper stretch and was gradually gaining on rivals in the end. TRUE SHOT was unhurried trailing down the back straight, still could see the field but was narrowing the margin on rivals around the bend, angled three wide for the drive to the wire and with late interest was closing in on horses late but could not improve position at the finish line. BIG LEW stalked in midfield three wide between foes in the beginning, was shuffled back midway along the backside, offered a brief turn of foot two wide at the three-furlong pole through the turn to be six wide turning for home in with a chance, could not continue the rally outside and had no finish in the final furlong. SPECIAL ELEMENT sat just behind the leader along the backstretch, was nudged three eighths out but could not quicken with others making a move outside, backed away on the fence while under a ride through the turn and could not factor in the stretch running. LOST STAR was hustled taking command from the onset, rattled along unchallenged up top entering the turn, was collared outside at the quarter pole, offered no resistance on the fence by upper stretch and retreated on the rail down the lane.
