Show Runner quarter-poled to the front for Jim Pantaleano, who gave her a :30.1 second-panel breather. But she could not put away the first-over Miss Read, finally defeating her by a half-length in 1:55.2 over a “good” surface. Gingertreescarlett rallied for show.

Christen Pantaleano trains Show Runner, an 8-year-old daughter of Little Steven-Peace Runner who now boasts $497,311 in career earnings, for A Piece Of The Action LLC.
