Shifty Shadow (John Beaton) was the leader through the opening panels of :28.2 and :58.4 before the pocket-sitting Woodmere Westerner (Greg Bailey) took over at the 1:28.3 three-quarters mark. With Ryan Campbell in the bike, Lonestar Hot Stuff, who was watching the action from third, made his move in the stretch and using a :29.3 final quarter, he lowered his mark to 1:58.3.
Woodmere Westerner was the runner-up finishing over a length behind while last week’s winner, Odyssey Killean (Edgar Jacob), finished third.
