Treviso was a narrow winner over Fine Tuned Lady in a time of 1:55.3.

In the first division, it was the Charlie Norris trained and driven Treviso taking the lion’s share. The daughter of Muscle Massive-Valbonela was able to establish pocket position behind race favorite Fine Tuned Lady (Corey Callahan). She vacated the garden spot to gun down the leader, winning by a neck in a time of 1:55.3. Yooper (Matt Kakaley) settled for third.

It was the third career win for Treviso, who is owned by Klis Brothers Stable and Carrie Norris. She paid $18.60.

In division two, it was Bob Stewart trainee Can’t I (John Campbell) remaining undefeated. The daughter of Cantab Hall-Buck I St Pat brushed to the top and managed to maintain her lead the rest of the way, stopping the clock in 1:57.2. Broadway Idole (David Miller) was second, while Crann Tara (Corey Callahan) rallied for third.

Can’t I is owned by her breeders, the conglomerate of Howard Taylor, Ed Gold, Abraham Basen, and R R Fuller. She returned $5.40 to win.

In the third division, it was Temple Ruins (Yannick Gingras) lasting on the lead. The daughter of Donato Hanover-Temple Of Heaven was able to rate on the lead, then hold off the pocket-sitting favorite Dangle Then Deke in the stretch, stopping the timer in 1:56.3. It was her first career win. Future Secured (Ake Svanstedt) finished third.
