Allard
struck in the third race with Show Me Up ($6.20 to win) in 1:53.2 and Cousin
Mary ($4.40) in the seventh in 1:53.1. Allard then put big smiles on his fans'
faces as 23-1 chance Spilling The Beans ($48.40) made a big move down the
backstretch and won the ninth for fun in 1:52.2.
Miller
got his three-bagger started with a pair of trotters – Watkins ($10.60) in the
sixth in 1:54.3 and Lauderdale ($15.80) in the eighth in 1:54.4 – before
capping his night with Youda Shark ($4.20) in the 11th in 1:54.
