3RD RACE - While the rest of the field were involved in bumping each other at the start, Earles First Girl was able to break cleanly from the outside and stalk the pace. She took the lead turning for home and drew off to an easy score.
4TH RACE - Favored Ocala Jorge, making her second career start, broke slowly again and this time was rushed up to press the early pace. But on the far turn she was already done and dropped back, ending up fifth.
5TH RACE - The race was switched to the main track due to the steady rains all day and that was fine for Constabulary. The son of Carson City stalked pacesetting favorite Saint Barr, took over the lead turning for home and drew off for the victory.
6TH RACE - Flag is Flying ducked inside at the top of the stretch and went through a hole to gain the lead and then held off Justin P for the victory. Favored The City lost all chance when Kaz Jr. was squeezed back on the far turn and then clipped heels, causing The City to steady and bear out, losing all momentum.
