FIRST RACE – From the upper to the lower part of the 40s temperature-wise … JUXTA COWGIRL was three-wide to the 1/8, pressed on and made the lead past the 5/16, didn’t really have anybody come close to her thereafter. MOSSDALE LOTTEE N gapped fourth the first half, then was uncovered early in the backstretch, got to tuck in the pocket midturn, tried the Pocono Pike but could make little headway. JERICHO DIVA was second-over, left raw midturn, went on well. DELILAH DE VIE was behind a laggard, hustled up to get in the cover flow late backstretch, not bad late. NARINA HANOVER got a slow start, and then got the last check. MORROCKIN K couldn’t keep up. RHYTHM N ROLL pushed the early action, yielded, behind a tired one on the turn but showed little herself late. CLASSY CHAPEL N was between horses to 1/8 command, pushed then yielded past the 5/16, unplugged ¾.
SECOND RACE – WILLIE B WORTHY headed straight to the lead, yielded 3/8 but was immediately on the retake, dealt with the first-over, then stayed game to hold off BANZAI AS. The latter was three-wide to the first turn, then grinded up until taking over 3/8, relinquished for the two-hole, stayed close and tested the winner in the lane only to come up short.

BEST BETTOR left, forced a tuck, yielded 3/8, was loose in the pocket from nearing the 5/8, fought along the inside to wrest second late from CAPTAIN COOK. The latter tucked fourth just past the 1/8, moved uncovered off turn two and went 27.1 down the back to challenge the leader, a little tired late and could not retain second. MELANIE’S NICK caught up to cover second-over, didn’t menace. BUCHANNON HANOVER was outside much of the ¼ before getting in second, stayed in, evenly. HUNTSVILLE PLACE didn’t have much. SMOKESTACK and TREVOR’S HUNT were both off the gate and far back throughout.

SIR CROMWELL was outleft while two-wide, broke 3/16, caught the field and was second-over before miscuing again before the ¾.
FIFTH RACE – ELEGANT BLUE had an open-length lead on these from the 1/8 pole, never in doubt. LOVELY LADY MAY raced up into the pocket early then gapped the entire rest of the way, did hold on for a no-factor second. MILLENIUMS GIRL was second-over, three-wide headstretch and a little better approaching the wire. BROOKDALE JESSIE moved uncovered 5/8, headed the pocket horse most of the turn, but then backed off some. TSM PRINCESS TEDDI and MAKE A SCENE never got a call. CATIE FAYE HANOVER needed until the ¼ to find a tuck, gapped down the back. GEORGIE was three-wide to the 1/8, took back, was outside near the rear throughout, fell far back in the lane.
SIXTH RACE – VOSS VOLO was away alertly and made the pocket at the 1/8, waited, then came outside nearing headstretch and went to the fore easily.

SEVENTH RACE – SWEET ROCKIN GIA was wide early and went on to grab fourth into turn one, came uncovered into the lower turn and grinded up to the leader, took over early stretch and went on well to keep SILVERHILL MISTY at bay. The latter had a fine trip second-over, just came up a mite short. YES DOUBLE DOWN was third-over, swung wide and finished steadily to edge TINKER TAXI. The latter took over early, yielded towards the ¼, stayed third-in and was boxed, out in a blindswitch to headstretch, got outside tiring horses and wasn’t bad at all. BULLVILLEKARLA got the last payday. KCK GIRLIES was fourth-over, three-wide ¾ but didn’t gain. DOUBLEOFFTHEWALL moved soon off the first turn to take over soon past the 3/8, was challenged, empty the last 1/8. SWEET SALLY SUE was parked most of the ¼ before taking the top, yielded, gapped in the pocket down the back but tightened in, had just swung into the Pocono Pike looking a contender but lapsed from gait.
EIGHTH RACE – R HERBIE BLUE CHIP yielded for the pocket, had to check midturn when the leader broke, but back in gear quickly and easily caught LADY’S IMAGE. The latter got a forward early spot, uncovered before the 5/8 and challenged, opened a couple of lengths when the leader broke, powerless to stall the winner but an acre ahead of the rest. LIBERO HANOVER moved uncovered just before the ½, got cover before the 5/8, stalled on the far turn and went back inside, held third. PRIME POWER N looked at leaving but took back to last, not heard from again. TIDQUIST was gapping inside before the ½. VANISHING ACT was never prominent. HALL IT OFF easily made the top, was trying to find more to meet the challenge of the first-up and not finding more when breaking midturn, taken to the infield.
NINTH RACE – PREMIER DELANEY had to work hard to get past a stubborn inside foe, then backed off the half, picked up the pace and held off a wall of horses with a nice last ¼. SHADOW ONE was second-over behind good cover, three-wide late turn, couldn’t quite sprint enough. WHO’S SMOKIN N left, reluctantly took third past the 1/8, moved raw 9/16 and grinded, held her ground well.

SOME KINDA ANGEL struggled to keep up. CATHY HANOVER took the inner route, was looking for a clear path when taking a bad step and then going into a gallop.
TENTH RACE – STONEBRIDGE ARMOUR used track geometry to maximum advantage and set the pace, had two 28.2 quarters in him for the back half and left these well behind.

REAL MCCOY settled in third early, gapped down the back, not prominent late. BOASTER COASTER had little to offer. DAGON HANOVER was near the back throughout. NIGHT FLYER K tucked fourth at the 1/8, pulled out entering the second turn, didn’t gain too much in the fast third quarter and then tired.
ELEVENTH RACE – CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN disdained an early tuck and took over just past the ¼, had no worries in here. THIRD POWER came off the rail ¾, was still sixth midstretch but closed nicely to be up for second. WESTERN WALTZ left well to take the early lead, pushed the winner a bit then yielded for the two-hole, a bit loose 11/16, just failed to hold place. MOVE THE LINE got an early spot, was a handful near the ¼, backed out to follow the first-over down the back, three-wide late turn but did not have a sharp late response. BETTORS AUTHORITY was never a presence. SOLID ALIBI was underway raw from far back past the 3/8, paced a 26.4 quarter to get closest to the winner ¾, but tired. SEAL O’NEILL broke just after the start.
TWELFTH RACE – BANG BANG BOINGA was innermost of the hard leavers and controlled the throttle, had a tough foe in FOCUS POCUS through the lane but got to the line first ahead of him. The latter was between horses early, went into the pocket nearing the ¼, outside for the drive, tried very hard but had to settle for second. DIVINE SPIRIT was far back when he got into gear ¾, made up a great deal of ground. MOON BRIDGE was uncovered 5/8, tucked in third on the far turn, just lost that position late. TRICKY DICK was never a factor; nor was CASTYOURCROWN. CUPID HANOVER was three-wide leaving, behind cover at the 1/8 and got in third as a foe broke before the quarter, did not keep from shortly at the half. WORTHY OF HONOR had speed, ran 3/16, was stubborn and could not be taken back enough to move from the infield onto the main oval until the half.
THIRTEENTH RACE – FILLY SPEAKS got the point into turn one, yielded 3/16 for the pocket, had a fine trip then used the Pocono Pike to get the decision.

ANDOVERS TOUCH and CHOCO CHARLIE never featured. CAVIART EMMA left, went into the early pocket 3/16, left some gap the last half until the far turn where she broke, was able to be taken to the outside without bothering anybody.

JAHAN HANOVER was three-wide to the 1/8 then two-wide much of the 26.3 opener before taking over, yielded for the two-hole, a bit tired late. STATEMENT MADE A looked to be taken back at the start but wouldn’t go inside, remaining outside for the duration, raw and pressing the pace from the 3/8 on, faded but only after much energy expenditure. FULL MOON BEACH followed cover but couldn’t make his presence felt. BELLOWS BINGE sat inside, little late. SOUTHWIND DRUDGE was already disconnecting not much past the half.
