The evening’s equine star was Beyond Delight (Jim Marohn Jr., $4.30), who went first-up and over in the $22,000 11th race pace. The 1:51.4 mile is now the fastest local effort of 2018.

The 4-year-old Bettor’s Delight gelding, co-owned by Jeff and Michael Snyder and Four Friends Racing Stable, has won half of his six seasonal starts.
