Table Games rallied along the inside in Thursday night’s $8,000 featured ninth race at Vernon Downs and pulled off a career-fastest 1:52.3 victory.

Roman Lopez earned a driving triple during the evening’s top test for female pacers by sending Table Games up the pylon path from third in the final 16th-of-the-mile and was rewarded with a neck triumph over the favourite, Bells Are Ringing.

Thursday’s tight tally marked the second season’s score and the eighth lifetime win for the four-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight-Macks Table, who is trained by Sam Serianni and owned by the Slo Down Stable, Edmund Namiotka, Jr. and Frank H. Kane. She increased her all-time winnings to $104,140.

Thursday’s racing also saw provisional pilot Michael Mancini earn his first pari-mutuel driving victory (behind the pacer Rocks N Bagels in the fourth race).

E. J. Treadway’s Misty Major become the fastest two-year-old filly pacer of the track’s 60th meeting with a 1:54.3 maiden score in the second race. Jimmy Whittemore did the driving for veteran conditioner Angus Mac Donald.
