Enhance Your Mind, one of five wins for Tony Morgan, won the $20,000 Mares Open. 

 

Jo Ann Looney-King’s Logan Girl made it two-in-a-row in DSBF prelims, three straight overall and 10 wins in 12 lifetime starts in her career. Vic Kirby drove the Roddy’s Bags Again-All Italian filly to a wire-to-wire 1:54 victory for trainer Jim King.

Lunar Phase raced from behind with Art Stafford Jr. as Spanish Dream (Kirby) led from the start with no early challengers. Stafford moved Lunar Phase from off the pace to move into contention on the final turn. It was a two-horse battle down the lane with Lunar Phase getting up at the wire in 1:53.3, a lifetime mark for the Roddy’s Bags Again-Blue Moon Artist bay owned by Stafford and Wyatt Starkey. It was her first win this year in her third start. I Won Them Both (Montrell Teague) closed well to finish third.
