Bailey takes the featured
$5,000 trot with Spoiler Alert ($6.50).

first in :27.2. Spoiler Alert made his
move first-over as they headed for the backstretch. Spoiler Alert led to the half in :56.3. As they went around the far turn Haveitalltogether
came first-up as Spoiler Alert easily led to three-quarters in 1:25.3.
Spoiler Alert was just
