Manatlas, riding a three-race win streak, made the early lead from post 7 in :28.1 seconds and would maintain the top position through a half-mile in :57.2 seconds. Race favorite That Ole Bar Stool promptly mounted a first-over charge and Swan In Motion followed second-over to three-quarters in 1:26.4. At that point, the outside horses gained momentum as That Ole Bar Stool cleared the lead as Manatlas retreated and Swan In Motion closed ground steadily and nipped That Ole Bar Stool at the wire.

It was the third win of the year for Swan In Motion, a 7-year-old Swan For All stallion trained by Dylan Davis. Swan In Motion has 34 career wins and nearly $720,000 earned in his career.

Ross Wolfenden, Victor Kirby, Trae Porter and Art Stafford Jr. each had a driving double.

Live racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule.
