Docsphillycheese (Bettarthancheddar) scored his fourth straight in the second division. Garrett Rooney piloted the colt to a half-length victory in 1:55.3, a new career mark. Britt Kennedy trains the colt she co-bred and co-owns with Moneyclip Racing. Docsphillycheese has won six times and brought in $27,495 through 16 career starts.

Buck N Bettor (Bettors Delight) took his second career win as Jason Ryan put him up front in a 1:55 victory. Amanda Fine trains the gelding for Scott and Lisa Henry of Odessa. Buck N Bettor has now started 14 times and has earned $15,139.
