East Rutherford, NJ – KG Delight [$35.20, $15.20, $6.80] rocketed off the live cover of Street Dancer [$6.20, $3.60] in the stretch and exploded home to capture the $50,000 opening leg of the Overbid, for free for all pacing mares, in 1:51.4 on Friday night at the Meadowlands.

Street Dancer finished second after a tough first-over trip and it was a length and a quarter back to the pocket-sitter, Miss Galvinator A [$2.80] in third. 2006 Older Pacing Mare of the Year, Burning Point, cut the mile but faded in the stretch to finish sixth but was placed fifth after a disqualification.

Driven by David Miller and trained by Nikolas Drennan, KG Delight notched her first win in her sixth start of the year and increased her lifetime earning to $299,873 for Paul Giammichele and Basil Michele of Ontario.

The Overbid series continues next Friday, March 16 and concludes with an estimated $100,000 final on March 23.
