Kinnder Hotblood took her third victory in four starts at Vernon Downs as she captured the $10,274 featured trot on Thursday, July 17.

Emotions Riches (Michael Miller) went straight to the front and led to the quarter in :28.3 before Kinnder Hotblood ($2.30) took over for trainer-driver Jimmy Whittemore, fronting the field to the half in :57.2 and three-quarters in 1:26. Kinnder Hotblood then kicked away at the top of the stretch and won going away by 3-1/2 lengths in 1:56.3.
