Treasure Gems K and driver Sam Widger worked out a perfect second-over trip to track down the heavily favored Country Girl Charm in the opening division. Stopping the timer in 1:54.4, Treasure Gems K utilized a :27 closing kick to get the win by a neck. Country Girl Charm and LeWayne Miller held on for second while Queen Of All and John DeLong rounded out the trifecta. Treasure Gems K returned $14.20 to her backers at the betting windows.

Trained by Norm Parker, who also co-owns the filly with Thomas Klosky Jr., Treasure Gems K recorded her fifth win of the season from 15 starts. The daughter of Encore Encore-Treasure Bank established a new lifetime best with the 1:54.4 clocking.

In the second division of the stakes action, Ima Diamond Babe and James Yoder capitalized on an uncharacteristic break by the heavily favored Swift Swanda to score in 1:55. With a :26.4 final quarter, Ima Diamond Babe found late racing room up the inside and was able to get a half-length in front of the pacesetting Dewtiful’s Grace and LeWayne Miller. Four Under Par and John DeLong finished third. Sent off at odds of 23-1, Ima Diamond Babe returned $49.00 for the win.

Owned by James and Cheyenne Yoder, the daughter of Guccio-I Will Take Credit notched her second victory of the season from 11 starts. The 1:55 clocking established a new lifetime best and was her third lifetime victory.
