Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

BLACK GODDESS was urged to the lead early, shifted in, set the pace in the clear, faced just minor presence of a rival in pursuit near the three-eighths then shook clear of that one, drew off and extended the margin in the stretch, held safe. SUNNYVILLE was in a bit tight entering the first turn, switched out off the inside five to six wide for the run up the backstretch, advanced some, moved out seven wide leaving the far turn, was no match for the winner but second best. SISTER MARJORIE chased from inside on or just off the rail, steadily dropped back into and early on the far turn, tipped out coming into upper stretch and kept on in the lane to secure show honors. CONQUER THE STORM was caught four wide into the first turn racing in the back half, advanced steadily but gradually up the backstretch and far turn, was under urging three furlongs out, angled out turning into upper stretch bumping a rival, kept on late from between foes to get the nod for minor award. LOVE TO DREAM was in a bit tight early entering the first turn, raced inside on or just off the rail mid-pack, steadily dropped back to be last on the far turn but saving ground, came out in mid-stretch and finished willingly between foes. PAT'S HOLIDAY exchanged a light bump at the start, unhurriedly brought up the rear, swung eight wide into upper stretch and gained late. MY EMMY was forced five wide into the first turn moving in about four deep, made an early advance, was within range past the seven-sixteenths just a couple off the leader, weakened steadily thereafter. ALMASTY'S LUST exchanged bumps at the start, angled in early, steadied and shuffled back on the first turn, switched out for the run up the backstretch, took closer order going four wide on the far turn, came into upper stretch a few paths wider still and was bumped at that juncture, flattened out. VERI COLLECTED stalked just off the leader outside two to three wide, was in range heading into the far turn but faltered and faded. STRAWBERRY WORLD was forwardly-placed into the first turn four wide, shifted in chasing up the backstretch, dropped back, failed to threaten. FLIGHTMARE switched out off the rail racing at the back, fanned six wide into upper stretch, was never a threat. HEY NIAMH chased mid-pack two to three wide, dropped back and faded. PRIZED SPIRIT bumped with a rival at the start, was off the pace toward the rear outside two to four wide, made no impact. CRUMLIN MISSION broke outwardly, was caught six then five wide on the first turn, shifted in a bit further moving forward up the backstretch, chased mid-pack, retreated between foes.
