The $15,000 Minnesota-Sired Two-Year-Old Trot was the featured event on Running Aces’ Wednesday (August 24) card, and filly Imapixieatmidnight (by SOS Lunar Eclipse) posted her second lifetime victory in the dash.
Trainer/driver Nick Roland sent his filly right to the lead from Post 3, cut the fractions (:30.4, 1:01.0, 1:31.1) and held off a furious late charge from last week’s winner LiquorsKwikker (driven by Rick Magee). The win time was 2:03, which went down as a new lifetime mark for Imapixieatmidnight. She is owned by Set The Pace Racing, LLC and she paid $6.40 on a $2 win ticket.
Another impressive performance during the card was put in by Goody Two Socks, an eight-year-old gelding by Restless Yankee, who delivered his 17th lifetime win in a new lifetime best of 1:53.3 for trainer Alexia Kehl and driver Rick Magee.
Running Aces’ next card of live racing will head to post on Saturday, August 27 at 6:00 p.m. (CDT).
