Slick Tony settled in fourth position early before sustaining a game first-over bid under confident handling by Foster. The 4-year-old No Spin Zone stallion surged to the lead in the stretch, passing pacesetter Blazing Bobby Sox for his fourth win of the year. Sicily was third.

Trained by Leager, it was the 22nd career win in 48 starts for Slick Tony, who was the youngest horse in the field.

Jo Ann Looney-King’s Little Ben ($3.60, Victor Kirby) won the sub-featured $11,000 Open II in 1:52.3 for trainer Jim King Jr.

Kirby and Ross Wolfenden led all drivers with four wins each.
