All Spirit won for the 3rd
time this season in the Mares top pacing class, the Miracle Mile 1, this one in
a front-stepping 1:52.2. With a track listed as good, All Spirit left from her
assigned outside post and cruised unchallenged thru fractions of 26.4, 55.1 and
1:23. In the stretch, All Spirit remained unopposed until Haggin Oaks made a
late bid, but was just too far back to catch the heavy favorite. The win was
one of three on the night for the combination of driver Jim Marohn, Jr. and
trainer Judy Lanpher. The pair made trips to the winner circle in the 3rd
race with Ideal Temptation and the 5th race with Sinspirational.
Ideal Temptation was a $23 upset bid in the Non-winners of 3 Pm while
Sinspirational was sent off as the bettors’ choice in the Miracle Mile 3.
Jim Marohn, Jr. picked up one more
win in the finale to finish off his total at four for the evening. Antonino
Buttitta picked up a driving/training double in back to back races while driver
Aaron Byron also managed a driving double in back to back races.
