Tough maiden races

[pweizer]

Look at Race 6 from September 4, 2010. That Saratoga Maiden Special Weight race produced the winners of the Grade 3 Iroquois in Astrology, the Grade 2 Remsen in To Honor and Serve and Grade 2 Lewis in Anthony's Cross as well as Data Link who will be one of the favorites in the Blue Grass.

Not Alydar standards but a pretty productive heat nonetheless.

Anthony's Cross also beat Tapizar in his maiden win at CD.

So we can call it a negative key race for KY Derby purposes.

Pleasant Tap ran 3rd in Grand Canyon's maiden victory. September 1989 at Del Mar.

Did Miss Union Avenue break her maiden in a turf sprint on that card as well?

I think Miss Union Ave was 1994 on the Dwyer undercard..

Eliza, Set Them Free, Nijivision, and Lost The Code were all in the same maiden at Del Mar in 1992.

You wouldn't automatically think a maiden race for 3yos over the turf at Fair Grounds would be especially productive, but Chief Bearhart, eventual millionaire Chorwon, and future steeplechase champ Flat Top exited the 6th at FG on March 23, 1996.
