Illinois conceived and foaled trotting colts were on display Wednesday night as a field of six 2 year olds met in a $14,500 ISOBA Super Sale Stake and continuing an impressive late-season roll Robert Rietveld, Jack Dorn, Paul Gibson and Kenny Collier�s Definer rolled to his third straight triumph in 1:59.1 over a track that was turned into a sea of mud after two straight days of rain.

Using the inside starting spot to his full advantage, driver Tyler Buter hustled the son of Armbro Tropicana-Sue�s Sweet Shery right to the front as soon as the gate sped away. Despite the soggy conditions Definer put up very respectable opening splits of :29.2 and :59.4.

Catching a breather while moving around the final bend Definer was still 1 � lengths ahead of a first-over Be Bullish (Homer Hochstetler) as he hit the three-quarter-mile mark in 1:30.3. In the lane the Kenny Collier trainee quickly turned away the challenge from Be Bullish.

A pocket-sitting Sago (Dan Noble) still loomed as a danger, but Definer was not about to be denied on this night as he reported home with a three-quarter-length triumph. Sago was forced to settle for second while Be Bullish was third.

Despite having to battle division leader Southern Rocketop all season long, Definer has put together a very impressive first season on the track. With his win on Wednesday night the bay gelding now boasts a record of 9-3-2 in 15 starts with earnings of $138,427. The race was contested as a non-betting race prior to the start of the pari-mutuel card. (Balmoral Park)
