The Somebeachsomewhere sophomore pacing filly Three Way Split, a three-quarter sister to world recordsetter Tall Drink Hanover, also took the shortest way home in her event, never being headed in a victory in 1:52.4, equaling her lifetime best. George Napolitano Jr., who had four victories on the card, drove the 1¾ length winner for trainer Tony Alagna and the ownership of Bottom Line Racing LLC, Brad Grant, and Marvin and Lynn Katz.
