George Napolitano Jr. put the 6 year old daughter of Western Ideal-Ladys Special Girl on the point early and she was forced to deal with a strong first over move down the backstretch by Ed Hensley's Keep On Flirtin. In the stretch, Nillabomb angled out from the second over trip for Wally Hennessey to barely miss at the final buzzer in 1:53.2. Billie Blue Chip was also closing hard late in rein to Joe Pavia Jr. in her 2012 debut, and the pocket sitting Runaway Tray driven by Anthony Napolitano was blocked and had to settle for fourth. Special Sweetheart, trained by Peter Pellegrino for 4 For 3 Stable of Bronxville, NY, is now a 25 time career winner of $834,469.
