Joe Lee opened proceedings with a 1:54.2 romp through 6-1 shot Rose Run Woodrow in the first of two $7,500 divisions for the AHDC corridors. Lee launched his attack from third after pacer Lew Hauber (driven by Geovany Hernandez) made splits of :27.1 and :56. Rose Run Woodrow raced into the lead and gradually increased his margin by three-quarters in 1:24.3 before rolling 7-1/2 lengths clear at the finish. Try Line (Bruce Baker), out at 64-1, gave chase in second place, while even-money favorite Seeyou At Thebeach (Tony Beltrami) finished in third. Lenda Hand Man (Stacey McLenaghan) finished fourth.

After Hernandez’s charge tired in the first division of the AHDC steps, he returned a few races later to crush the competition with 7-5 favorite Drinkin Again in a 1:55.2 mile. Hernandez defeated leader Gouda Man (Yogi Sheridan) at a clip of :27.2 and :56.3 to take the lead. Once under control, Drinkin Again sped away, clocking three-quarters in 1:25.2 on his way to a 9-3/4 length victory. Uncle Coz (Anthony Verruso) settled for second after a pocket trip, while A Stud Named Sam (Tony Beltrami) took third. Redding Hanover (Joe Lee) finished fourth.

Michael Fiumenero later took the lone $7,500 AHDC trot by a much smaller margin than the other blowouts with an 11-1 upset by Certify in 1:58.4. Fiumenero fended off early challenger Keystone Thunder (Matt Zuccarello) and led the field to a first quarter of :28.4 and a first half of :58.4. Pocket sitter Crossfit Mouse (Stacey McLenaghan) pulled the backstretch from the pocket and pressed Certify from three-quarters in 1:28.1 throughout the stretch drive. Certify held strong in the track to record a quarter-length win over Crossfit Mouse, with Big Nudge (Anthony Verruso) moving from second to third and closing even-money favorite Love This Bar (Bruce Baker) for fourth.
