Miss Bling ($4.70) would account for win number three on the afternoon. The six-year-old Im Gorgeous mare won in 1:59.3 for leading Monticello Raceway trainer Jim Doherty, Jr.
Hurrikane Shorty ($3.00) would complete the four-bagger in the last race from post position six, the win gave Nick Surick a training triple on the afternoon.
