The 4-year old mare made her return to the Spa following a try at the Meadowlands last week and drew the rail in the evening’s $9,400 feature for the ladies. Bruce Aldrich Jr. piloted Truth And Liberty and rolled her first over approaching the half-mile and the mare took it from there.
Truth And Liberty stopped the timer in 1:54.1 in recording her 10th win of the season. Bettorhaveanother (Frank Coppola Jr.) was the runner-up to the favored winner as she finished second for the fourth consecutive week, while Bye Bye Michelle (Dan Cappello Jr.) earned the show spot.
