Owned, trainer and driven by Chuck Perry, John’s Dream posted the fastest win, a near wire-to-wire, 1:52.4 triumph in one of the $20,000 DSBF paces. Cut The Beach (George Dennis) finished second for the second straight week. Double Miles (David Miller) was third for the third straight time.

Dorothy and Chris Conner’s Hail To The Master (Art Stafford Jr.) scored his second consecutive wire-to-wire victory in 1:54 in his $20,000 event. All Artist (Jeff Fout) finished second for the third straight start. Canthelpbutwin (Vic Kirby) was third this week.

Montrell Teague led off the program with a 1:54.2 win behind All Music, catching the leader Seeboomook Dream (Allan Davis) at the finish line to win by a nose. Race favorite Rusty Carter (Corey Callahan) led early and was in the photo finish, but had to settle for third place.

The top eight in points return in a week for four $100,000 DSBF finals.
