Real Class leads KYSS winners in 1:50

August 24, 2007

Digital Z Tam turned in speedy win over the lightning-fast red clay at The Red Mile Thursday night, and Likeavirgin Lindy grabbed the lone $50,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes split for 3-year-old filly trotters over a courageous Godiva Hall, who starated poorly and spotted the field by 10 lengths at the quarter before falling short by just a nose in 1:54.1.

Sent off at odds of 2-5, Digital Z Tam rolled to a 3 1/2-length-score in 1:50.1 in a Kentucky Sire STakes 3-year-old pacing colt division with a final panel in :26.3. Pat Lachance trains Digital Z Tam for MJGB Racing Stable. Digital Z Tam, a 3-year-old Cambest colt, has now won four straight starts.

Last week Real Class finished six lengths second to Digital Z Tam. This week he rolled to a 1:50 win in another KYSS leg for sophomore colt pacers. Dave Palone tallied one of his five wins aboard Real Class, a Real Desire colt trained by Eric Reese for Robert Boni.

Soggy Britches and My Fave Wave faced off again in a $25,000 KYSS leg for sophomore filly pacers. This week Soggy Britches and Palone beat out My Fave Wave and Andy Miller in 1:50.2. Soggy Britches, a filly by Allamerican Ingot, shows a card of eight wins and three runners-up in 11 lifetime starts for trainer Mike Medors and owner-breeder Emerald Highlands Farm.

Mind Boggling and Palone hooked up again to win the other $25,000 KYSS leg for pacing fillies in 1:51.3. A filly by Cambest trained by Ross Croghan, Mind Boggling posted a sub-:27 final quarter for the third consecutive week. She is owned by Let It Ride Stables and Mentally Stable.

Pierce picked up another KYSS win with Western Prayer in the lone $50,000 KYSS leg for colt trotters. Western Prayer, also by Like A Prayer, trotted in 1:55.4 for trainer Steve Elliott and owners Jonas, Marlin and Jacob Graber.

Benns Superman swiped a $20,000 KYSS leg for colt pacers in 1:51.2. Mike Lachance picked up the drive on the Real Desire colt and steered him past 1-5 favorite Priceless Edition in the stretch. Lachance won a KYSS leg with Priceless Edition last week at 6-1 odds.

Benns Superman is trained by Henry Lunsford and co-owned by Paul Spadafore and Gary Baldwin.

On the under card, the 3-year-old pacing gelding Pro Kid posted a solid 1:51 win in a $6,000 early-closer leg. Pro Kid, by Pro Bono Best, was driven by Tony Hall for owner-trainer-breeder Mark Goldberg. (The Red Mile)
