UPCOMINGMaiden Special Weight
Maiden Special Weight, for 3-year-olds and up.
Maiden special weight — for horses that have never won a race. No horses are for sale; this is the higher-quality way to break a maiden.
● Track record at 300 Yards: 15.13
The shape is the story here: the early pace looks honest rather than contested — expect a fairly run race where class and trip decide it, not pace collapse.
Our number tops on #4 Classncash (a tactical type, M/L 2-1). Recent figures: 82 · 76 · 93. It hit the board last time and stays in form. Backup is #7 Bernal Little Girl at 5-2. Use #2 Tommy Gunn in exotic structures.
What would change our mind: a key scratch that reshapes the early pace, a sharp turf-to-dirt or surface switch off the rail, or live money showing up on a horse the board had dismissed. Watch the tote late.

Pace
Pace Vacuum. No real early speed. Whoever shows up first is likely uncontested. Pressers benefit.
