Maiden Claiming

Chart notes

BAKUTO was hustled to the front then showed the way, dictated terms while inside on the turn, responded well when asked at the quarter-pole and drew off under strong urging to prove much the best. SFUMATO was urged along towards the rear, moved from the three path to the five path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, remained on his inside lead until inside the furlong marker then swapped to the proper lead and got up for the place. KINGS LANDYN was hustled from the gate, showed speed on the inside of the winner, dropped back late on the backstretch, saved ground on the turn, was roused in the four path into the stretch, drifted out while remaining on his inside lead near the eighth-pole, continued on his inside lead in the final furlong and lacked the needed kick but earned the show. TAMPA STORM moved up while urged along, bumped solidly with TAQUEETO JONES late on the backstretch, chased in the two path on the turn and tired. THUNDERTAKER was hustled from the gate then urged along off the pace, raced inside to the two path on the turn and lacked the needed response. PLAN ON IT bumped with TRUE ADIRONDACKER near the eleven-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the four path and failed to threaten. TRUE ADIRONDACKER bumped with PLAN ON IT near the eleven-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the five to six path and was no factor. CHRIS'S SONG was hustled from the gate then urged along off the pace, traveled around the turn in the four path and came up empty. TAQUEETO JONES was urged along in the front half of the field, bumped solidly with TAMPA STORM near the half-mile, went around the turn in the three then two path and had nothing left. ALWAYS HONEST was last away from the outside post, raced towards the rear on the outside, rounded the turn in the four then three path and showed little. KLIMT MASTER was hard ridden at the back, dropped from the three path to the inside early on the turn, saved ground into the stretch and also showed little.
