Manalapan, NJ — Monday morning was Miller time for trainer Tom Fanning.

Fanning won four qualifiers for 2-year-olds at Gaitway Farm, three with driver Brett Miller at the lines and one with David Miller. Fanning’s four victories were the most of any trainer in the 14 qualifiers for 2-year-olds. Ron Burke and Chris Ryder were the only other conditioners with multiple wins, with two apiece.

Billy Flynn was one of five winners for driver Brett Miller.

Brett Miller captured a total of five races with the 2-year-olds while David Miller had three and Marcus Miller had two. Mike Lachance also notched two triumphs.

Thirteen of the winning horses were making his or her second trip to qualify. The only debut winner was male pacer Major War, trained by Sam DePinto.

Special Package, a female pacer, was the fastest of Fanning’s winners. A daughter of Western Terror-Tootsie J, she won in 1:57 over a track labeled “good.” The filly is a full sister to Shock It To ’Em, who won a division of the Keystone Classic last year and the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Stallion Series final.

Fanning’s other winners were male pacers My Spirit Soars and Betting Exchange and female pacer Mac’s Secure.

Betting Exchange (Bettor’s Delight-Cheeky Hanover), a half-brother to 2009 Battle of Waterloo winner Wellthereyougo, won in 1:59. My Spirit Soars (Bettor’s Delight-Sealed In My Heart) won in 1:57.2 and Mac’s Secure (McArdle-Secure Hanover) won in 1:59.
