In the opening division, Kennans Nancy Lee looked like a seasoned veteran as she overcame early traffic problems, then stormed up first over heading to the three-quarter-mile mark for driver Tyler Buter before wearing down the pace setting Vegas Date to win by a nose in 1:58.4.
The Joel Smith-trained daughter of Richess Hanover-Lake Hills Nancy has now been victorious in two of her three career starts for owner-breeder Kenneth Spurlock. In the nightcap, Ervin Miller and Tanah Merah Farms' Rolldownthehiway continued her impressive start as she reeled in the favored Echoes In My Soul while first-over then held off a late move from Fox Valley Naomi to win by a hard fought nose in 1:59.1 for driver Marcus Miller. The daughter of Cole Muffler-Cambridge Lane has shown a real affinity for the half-mile surfaces posting three wins and two seconds in five career starts, all of which have come over half-mile racetracks.
