Columbus, OH — Rock N Roll Heaven paced a final half-mile in 56.2 seconds to win a qualifier by 10-1/4 lengths in 1:57.3 at Scioto Downs on Saturday morning.

His mile was the fastest by a freshman this season on a 5/8-mile track and equals the fastest mile on any size track by a 2-year-old in 2009. The son of Rocknroll Hanover was guided by David Myers for trainer-owner Roy Ohagan.

The freshman pacing filly Lullaby Til Dawn (Dawn Ofa New Day) won in 1:58.4, the fastest mile by a 2-year-old pacing filly on any size track this season. Driver Del S. Miller put her in the two-hole behind Caviart Kiss (The Panderosa) and she came on in the stretch to win by a neck. Jim Arledge, Jr. trains both fillies.
