Maiden Special Weight

Chart notes

SEA STRIKE broke awkwardly and a step slow then shied in and was taken up with a grab of the right rein, spotted the front several lengths, climbed into kickback early, settled well off the pace, gained in the two path under his own power on the turn, came into the stretch in the three path then dropped in a path while roused, rallied inside of rivals under a strong hand-ride, closed fast to get the lead inside the furlong marker, went clear outside the sixteenth-pole and proved much the best under lighter encouragement to the finish. TAB AT ZANZIBAR showed speed then disputed the pace on the outside, vied in the two to three path while asked for more on the turn, held a short lead under a drive in upper stretch, lost the advantage to the winner inside the furlong marker and proved no match while able to get the place. COMPLEX CHARLIE was hustled from the gate, moved up to dispute the pace on the inside of an opponent, vied along the rail while asked for more on the turn, battled under a drive into the final furlong and weakened but was clear for the show. FEROCE was away alertly then hustled, chased the pace on the outside, went around the turn in the three to four path, spun into the stretch in the five path, dropped back into the final furlong and tired. GORDY broke out and brushed the gate, moved out early then was urged along on the inside of a rival, shifted from the three path to the four path early on the turn, chased while moving out to the five path later on that bend, spun into the stretch in the six path and came up empty. OKEFENOKEE leaned in and hesitated while brushing the inside of the gate, was off a bit slow, saved ground while urged along near the back and was no factor. LEVI WARRIOR bobbled at the start but broke towards the front, was urged along on the outside, traveled around the turn in the four then five path, came into the stretch in the six path then dropped in some and failed to respond.
