Classic Comedy needed every foot of the racetrack to finally wear down the pacesetter Justabitofcharm in 1:55.2 over the sloppy surface. It was the 33rd career win for the 9-year-old daughter of Classic Card Shark. Her half of the $17,500 purse boosted her lifetime bounty to $200,000. She is owned by James Morris, who claimed her from the first leg of the series.

Another Breath, an 8-year-old son of Lou’s Legacy, was actually headed by runnerup Hill Side (Jordan Ross) early in the stretch, but fought back to capture the $30,000 trotting race in 1:55. For A Dreamer (Brett Miller) grabbed the show dough.

Trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. and partners Carl Howard and Bottom Line Racing LLC also plucked the winner from the first leg of this series.
