Tony Hall drove Medusa to a 1:51.2 score on Monday.

Medusa was caught widest in a three-ply battle for the early lead that forced her to a demanding :26.3 opening panel.

But she had no trouble holding that lead for Tony Hall, downing the rallying Spreester by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:51.2. Coffee Addict was third.

Randy Bendis trains the 5-year-old daughter of Bettor’s Delight-Mythical, who pushed her career bankroll to $278,117, and owns with Tom Pollack.

Hall piloted four winners on the 14-race card while Dave Palone enjoyed a triple.
