The time of 1:57.2 was a lifetime best third win for the filly who made $32,103 in seven starts as a 2-year-old chasing unbeaten Pats A Keeper.

Roberts finished out a big night for his father, winning the mares feature with Winter Games. Declan Donoway pushed the pace with Hickory Pandle, cutting fractions of :26.4, :55, and 1:23.
