In line with Roger Plante Jr. Layton Hanover moved into fourth place early when 1-2 favorite Spring Blake (driven by Russell Foster) gave up Leonard’s Legacy (Tim Deaton) at the end of a:27 quarter. Layton Hanover turned the first over with a lap to go and steadily moved forward to print middle fractions of :55.4 and 1:23.3. The pair dueled through the far bend and into the stretch, with Layton Hanover putting Spring Blake away with 40 meters to go to win by half a length.
LAYTON HANOVER REPEAT
Sheer Terror (Jonathan Roberts) left the live second-over cover and ended up in a dead heat for second place with Spring Blake.
