Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

RED SKY MORNING settled not too far behind the pace between runners, launched a four wide bid rounding the far turn, sustained a rally to be up in time. GREAT HUNT settled off the pace three wide, advanced through the far turn to enter the stretch close up to the pace, lugged in at the eighth and bumped into JUAN CAMANEY, rallied but came up just short. SENOR RESPLANDOR took charge along the inside, met a bid from SPURIOUS at the seven sixteenths, vied through the far turn, shook that one off in the upper stretch, found himself between bids at the final sixteenth and gave way. JUAN CAMANEY was allowed to settle off the pace, was cued along the inside through the far turn, was bumped and checked by GREAT HUNT at the eighth marker. EFFICACY tracked the pace from the two path, brushed out by OPERA HOUSE A.D. in the first turn, shifted in along the inside at the six furlong marker, shadowed the pace up the backstretch and far turn, angled out three wide at the top of the stretch but ran out of racing room. COMMANDER'S COIN got pinched back at the start, raced off the pace, was cued three wide through the far turn, closed willingly along the outside of the stretch. SPURIOUS stalked the early pace setter from the two path, contested the lead at the seven sixteenths and vied with SENOR RESPLANDOR through the far turn, weakened in the final furlong. NICOLE'S WILL tracked the pace three wide, moved up for a competitive position at the top of the far turn, got squeezed back at the eighth. AMERICA LIVES trailed for most, passed retreating foe. OPERA HOUSE A. D. found a forward position along the inside, brushed out EFFICACY entering the first turn, was checked at the three quarters marker, began retreating midway through. STEWARDS INQUIRY REGARDING GREAT HUNT AND JUAN CAMANEY IN THE STRETCH RESULTED IN THE DISQUALIFICATION OF GREAT HUNT FROM SECOND TO FOURTH FOR INTERFERING WITH GREAT HUNG AT THE EIGHTH POLE.
