The colt by Stay Hungry – Surfside Sexy went wire-to-wire, with back fractions of :56.3 - :27.4 for Threelyonsracing. The other Tetrick / King success in this group was Life’s A Puzzle (Lazarus N – Dee’s Lioness) in 1:58.1.
TWO-YEAR-OLD PACING FILLIES – Driver Todd McCarthy and trainer Cory Mumford had the two fastest winners in this section.

The stable’s other McCarthy-driven success was Lofty Treasure, a daughter of Beachtrea – Lofty Yankee, who reported home first in 1:57.3.
TWO-YEAR-OLD TROTTING COLTS -- Todd McCarthy also guided the fastest freshman in this category, the International Moni – Blinded By Lindy colt Inter Mischief, who sat a pocket trip then came home in 29.1 to win in 2:00.4 for trainer Jamie Sullivan, co-owner with Frank Chick.
TWO-YEAR-OLD TROTTING FILLIES – David Miller had the seat behind two of the winners in this section, both wire-to-wire winners. The quicker of these two was Broadway Sensation, a daughter of Bar Hopping – Broadway Woman who came home in :58.4 to complete a 2:00.4 mile for trainer Steve LeBlanc and the partnership of Douglas Johnson, Glenn Dyke, and Leblanc Racing Inc.
