Wisconsin Believer scored in a new lifetime mark of 1:56.

Starting from post one in the second division of the first leg of the Norrine C pacing series for fillies and mares, Wisconsin Believer ($7.60) and trainer/driver Rick Magee got away third from the gate and sat patiently through the first fractions of :28.1 and :57.4 before launching a first-over assault and sweeping to the lead down the backstretch. She opened up a four length lead at the three-quarter pole in 1:25.4 and widened her advantage with every stride to coast home in :30.1 and register an 8-3/4 length victory. She stopped the clock in 1:56 for a new lifetime mark. She is owned by Mikaela Delgiudice.

In the other split of the same series, EL Peacemaker ($12.00) also posted a very sharp win, converting a pocket trip for a new lifetime mark of 1:56 in just her third lifetime start. She is a 4-year-old Illinois bred mare by Duneside Perch and is owned by Russel Crotchett and trained by Brett Ballinger.

In the first leg of the Minnehaha claiming pacing series for fillies and mares, T B Beach Girl ($6.40) picked up her fourth lifetime win in 26 tries, with Dean Magee aboard for trainer Dave Ginter and owners William and Richard Mc Intyre, pacing the mile in 1:55.4.

Drivers Nick Roland and Steve Wiseman both picked up driving doubles on the card.

Live racing returns to the Running Aces oval on Tuesday (June 6), with a first post of 7 p.m. (CDT).
