Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

ETERNAL GLORY was bumped hard after the start, nevertheless moved forward and forced the pace from outside, edged clear midway up the backstretch, was still clear turning for home and lugged out when asked for more with a left-handed use of the crop, switched right-handed by the furlong grounds and straightened out then kept on to hold sway. RIGHT ON TARGET tracked not too far off the leaders, saved ground on or just off the rail, advanced mildly on the far turn, shifted out a bit on that bend then back inside the drifting leader at the top of the stretch, couldn't reach that one but was second best. ICONIC ROCK bumped a rival at the start, had forward position four wide into the first turn just off the leaders, continued racing close up and outside coming to the quarter pole, lugged out in upper stretch and weakened thereafter but preserved show. BIVOL broke a half-step slowly and was shut off a couple strides out of the gate steadying slightly, settled into stride well back on or just off the rail, advanced two to three deep on the far turn, angled six wide at the top of the stretch, finished well outside but just missed third. FRANKIE R. was bumped and steadied entering the first turn, settled off the pace early mostly three deep, advanced on the far turn under urging, was forced in a bit in upper stretch, kept on but needed more. SNOVEMBER was bumped at the start, was outpaced early racing off the inside toward the back, was encouraged along outside the seven-sixteenths, swung six wide turning for home, improved some. DETERMINED FREEDOM was in tight and bumped a rival early on the first turn, raced about mid-pack mostly four to five wide advanced mildly on the far turn, lugged in a bit in upper stretch, lacked the needed late kick. KENRIC settled outside at the rear, advanced past rivals near but off the fence late on the far turn, came out a bit in upper stretch, ran on but was not a threat. LAO WAY was bumped early on the first turn, raced outside mid-pack mostly five to six wide, came up empty when asked. STARSHIP AUGUSTO veered in bumping a rival after the start, gained forward position early stalking about three wide, was within range coming into the far turn, retreated between foes from the five-sixteenths and tired. MY RIGHT HAND was in tight bumping a rival and steadying past the seven- and one-half furlong marker entering the first turn, raced back of the leaders mid-division early and failed to menace late. WE GOT THIS bobbled at the break, moved through inside runners early on the frist turn, vied inside the eventual winner early, dropped back and tired.
