Callahan drove 5-1 shot Bettorhaveanother to her second straight win of the year to go along with two seconds in four starts for trainer Ron Burke and owners Weaver Bruscemi and Burke Racing Stable.

Scandalicious took the early lead and maintained the front with horses coming on strongly before Bettorhaveanother finally caught her at finish line.

The winner is a six-year-old daughter of Bettor’s Delight-Katie My Girl who now has won $288,452 lifetime.

Bad Lightning struck at 7-1 in the $18,000 distaff sub-feature winning in 1:57.2 for driver Jonathan Roberts and owner-trainer Josh Parker and Nanticoke Racing. It was the second success in her last three outings for the Badlands Hanover-Malocchio 5-year-old. Berazzled (Tetrick), the race favorite, was second with OK Jasmine (Russell Foster) third.
