In the first race of the program, the 6 year old daughter of Cambest-Rondeau Hanover was sent through fractions of 26.4, 55, and 1:22.4 leading up to the 1:50.3 clocking over six rivals in the $6,100 purse mares conditioned event. It was a life's mark for Best Around in her first start after a claim by Ft. Lauderdale owner Joel Benson and in the care of trainer Paul Holzman. George Napolitano Jr. was in the bike for the overpowering victory over Bryan's Ideal in rein to Dan Clements and Blind To See partnered by Ed Hensley. Best Around, a winner last year in Pompano's mares open class, could soon be heading up to the top class again. Her lifetime earnings now stand at $95,344. The clocking was the second fastest of the entire meet, only one tick behind the 1:50.2 clocking turned in by another member of the Paul Holzman barn, older gelding Brave Call, on January 7.
