Fancy Desire won her division in 1:49.1, edging Weeper by a half-length.

In the first division, Katie Said (Well Said-Katies Lucky Lady) bounced back from breaking issues in her previous two starts to score with a first-over grind in 1:51.2. Marcus Miller was aboard for trainer Julie Miller. That Woman Hanover finished second and Table Talk was third.

In the second split, 13-1 shot Fancy Desire (Real Desire-Fancy Creek Memory) made a second move from the pocket and won in 1:49.1, fastest time in the division this year on a five-eighths-mile oval by a wide margin. George Napolitano Jr. drove for trainer Kevin Carr. Weeper had her long winning streak snapped by finishing second while Hunger Games picked up the show dough.
