Battleshoe Victor ($3.20) and driver Anthony Napolitano had little trouble handling a field of seven rivals in winning the $16,000 Open Handicap Trot Monday at the Isle Pompano Park. The feature saw Keystone Empire (Richard Simard) shoot to the early lead but before the opening quarter in :28.4, Napolitano had Battleshoe Victor on the lead for good. Leading the field to the half mile marker in :58.2, Battleshoe Victor was then challenged on the outside by Farmer Jones and driver Kevin Wallis through the backstretch and to the three-quarter mile pole in 1:27.1. Then as the field reached the top of the stretch and started towards the finish line, Keystone Empire came after Battleshoe Victor but to no avail as the winner pulled away to score by 1 1/2 lengths in 1:56.1. Keystone Empire was second with Farmer Jones third.
