Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

SEEKER'S HOPE coaxed from the gate, pressed the pace of ALIAS from the outside three then two wide, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, dueled through the length of the drive trading brushes through to the finish and was gamely up at the wire to score. ALIAS coaxed from the start, crossed inside to show the way in hand down the backstretch under some pressure from the aforementioned foe to the outside, had that rival advance and took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in dueling through the length of the stretch trading brushes to the finish while fighting on game and was nailed in the very last jump to the line. ARMY PROUD broke out at the start bumping PROJECTABILITY into THORSNESS, chased along the inside, started to get out to the two and almost three path and near the seven-sixteenths and got placed to a firm left grip correction, the rider standing a bit to keep a straight course, got placed to coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and ran on to secure the show honors. PROJECTABILITY broke out at the start bumping THORSNESS and then got bumped by ARMY PROUD and bumped THORSNESS once more, chased three then four wide under a ride from the three-eighths marker, went nine wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. INONIT got away to an awkward start, chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path through the turn coming under coaxing midway, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, made ground offering up a bid but made no headway through the final furlong. SPORTS HERO chased three paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking inside at the half mile pole, got roused spinning from the two path into upper stretch, and was outfinished to the end. THORSNESS bobbled at the break and then got bumped by PROJECTABILITY, then got bumped again by that rival due to pressure from ARMY PROUD, chased just off the inside and then along the inside coming under urging at the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into upper stretch and made no impact. MONTE AVI coaxed from the gate, chased five then four wide coming under a ride three furlongs from home, went eight wide into upper stretch, weakened. ADMIRAL INDY brushed the near side stall at the start, chased four then three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, went seven wide into upper stretch, tired. INTO INSPIRATION chased just off the inside under encouragement from midway on the turn, angled six wide into upper stretch, tired.
