William Carter won early and often on the Tuesday night card, winning four races on the night and bringing serious coin to his backers.
The 19-year old Carter won three straight races after 20-year old Justin Walters won the opener with Lady Harbro for Leonard Hubbard and trainer Basil Sapienza. Odds On Veto Power (A Rocknroll Dance) was the odds on choice for Johnny Crites in race two, but Shimmy Shimmy Bop, who was 1-42 coming in, took race three for trainer Adrian Wisher and owner Bob Weyforth. She stormed past a stopping Emmylou in the final 16th of the mile to pull a 7-1 shocker as the fourth choice on the board.
