Think Of Galaxies (Billy Davis Jr.) was hustled off the wings, clearing rivals into the opening turn, while it appeared Creme Delight (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) might play hardball early, he took up position in the pocket with the field heading into the backstretch.

Think Of Galaxies paced through a blistering :27.2 first quarter, and Davis was able to back down the pace, getting to the half in just :57. At three-quarters in 1:25, Think Of Galaxies had yet to see a rival, as she cruised into the far turn up by 1-1/4 lengths.

Turning for home, Creme Delight took a shot out of the pocket, but Think Of Galaxies was too good, winning by a length in 1:53.2. Trainer Cory Kreiser was thrilled with her turn of foot “she had a couple of weeks off and really turned things around tonight, we are looking forward to the rest of the season with her.”

Owned by Ameer Najor, Thunder Racing Stable, and Melissa Loyer, the talented 6-year-old mare by So Surreal pushed her career earnings to $374,392 with her 15th career victory.

Live racing resumes on Sunday (Jan. 20) with a first post of 6 p.m.
