Connor quickly put Oceans Motion on the front through fractions of 26.4 and 55.4. As the field headed towards three quarters, Meittinis moved Southwind Trini to the outside and made a hard first over bid on the leader past the three quarter mile mark of the race in 1:23.2.
Around the final turn, Meittinis was able to get Southwind Trini to the front
and hold off a late charge by For All We Know (Keith Kamann) to win in 1:52.1.
It was the sixth win in twenty nine seasonal starts for the 4-year old daughter
of Rocknroll Hanover – Tattoo Hanover
for trainer Rob Harmon.
