Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

COLOR COMIN' IN was off slow, recovered quickly to race forwardly two wide and between horses, tucked to the inside to stalk at the half mile pole, slipped thru a rail seam to bid inside of the leaders with five sixteenths to go, drew off entering the lane and was ridden out with good energy. AMERICATHEGREAT broke slow and brushed with an outer rival at the start, trailed in the two path around the turn, shifted out to the five path while picking up stride entering the lane, then rallied with a strong finish to belatedly narrow the clear winner's advantage. NANZIG prompted outside of the leader and from the three path, vied three deep turning for home, proved no match for an inner co-bidder while getting floated to the four path entering the lane, then chased that one through the final furlong and lost place to an outer on-charging foe at the sixteenth pole. RATHER LATE was briefly antsy in the starting gate, took contact from an inner foe at the start, raced well back in the three path then moved up through the lane. SWIFTLIKETAYLOR lacked speed along the inside, entered the lane two wide and improved position. SHEZ TWISTED broke outwardly and bumped a rival leaving the gate, set the pace in the two path, got headed by a bidder on either side turning for home, yielded while drifting to the three path entering the lane and weakened through the final furlong. MI AMIGA was off a step slow while brushing with an inner foe at the start, tugged forward keenly early on, remained hard to handle while tracking outside of the leaders and from the four path into the turn, maintained striking range while getting floated to the five path into the lane but faded thereafter. CHIQUITA'S WAY was fractious in the starting gate, chased along the inside, yielded position approaching the half mile pole, then tired through the lane while hanging on her left lead.
