Uncirculated Stable's Dali and Francis Azur's Blueridge Western, winners of last week's $41,519 eliminations, lead eight fast 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers in the $249,113 Matron Series final at Dover Downs on Monday night.
Living up to his name of the master painter Dali, the son of Real Artist missed the track record of 1:49.1 by one-fifth of a second in his Matron elim last Monday, teamed with Ron Pierce. The other Matron elim was won impressively with Dave Palone driving Blueridge Western to a 1:51.1 score. Each of the margins of victory was 1 3/4 lengths.
