Summer Charm, seeking her fourth straight win, inherited the point when Diamondtequilashot jumped it off near the three-eighths. But she was no match for the power play of Pace Baby Pace, who defeated her by 1-1/4 lengths for Dave Palone in 1:52.1 over a “good” surface. Sports Flix shot the Lightning Lane for show.

Ron Burke trains Pace Baby Pace, a 4-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou-Breakheart Pass who lifted her career bankroll to $186,693, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

Aaron Merriman, Dan Rawlings, trainer Jason Shaw and Palone each enjoyed a double on the 13-race card.
