Al Mar Why Not (Tim Maier) was the fastest off the gate and had the early lead as they registered a first quarter of :29.3 before Teachmehowtotory (Nick Roland) took control near the three-eighths mark. Driver Rick Magee launched Hearduwhispermynam towards the front near the half-mile mark in 1:00.3 and quickly cleared to the lead as they headed down the backside.

Once on the lead, Hearduwhispermynam was immediately pressured by Susie’s Sister (Brady Jenson) and those two continued to battle all the way into deep stretch, where Hearduwhispermynam ($3.80) was able to battle back and regain control for a solid one length score in 1:57.1 over Susie’s Sister and SB Madam Secretary (Darrell Wright).

The winner is a gelded son of Braggart, owned and trained by his breeder Jenni King. He now has five wins in 11 starts this year.

Double My Dekker (Dean Magee, $3.20) posted a very sharp three length tally in the $9,200 sophomore “B” trot in 2:00.1 for a new career mark. Bekkums Black Rose (Nick Roland) was home second, and Al Mar Lovie Dovie (Rick Magee) was third.
