Gotalottacredit completed a driving hat trick for Mark Beckwith who has been on a tear of late.

When the favorite broke at the start, Gotalottacredit took advantage and moved out to the front end in the $8,030 feature contested over a sloppy track. Mark Beckwith piloted the Dave Dewhurst-trained trotter and asked the 7-1 longshot for all he had turning for home as fellow longshot Kandy Krush (Claude Huckabone Jr) closed in.

Gotalottacredit held on to prevail in 2:00.4 for his third win of the season while Kandy Krush had to settle for second. Starlingmoon (Jim Devaux) earned the show spot.
