The fastest of the four winners was Truly Noble (Nob Hill High), who drew away by five lengths and stopped the timer in 1:51. The colt went wire-to-wire for Merriman and trainer Brian Boring.
JWs Chrome (Racing Hill), driven by Kayne Kauffman for trainer Michael Arnold, took a two-hole trip and won easily by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:52.4.
The other winner was Barnard Hanover (Well Said), who raced in seventh to the top of the stretch and then flew home to get up by a head in 1:53.4. Merriman, who picked up his fourth win on the card, drove for trainer Larry Finn.
