Leigh Raymer owns and trains the Super Punk-Gogetitdun filly. She has earned $29,000 in her five races. Star Hit (Tony Morgan) closed strongly for second in front of Cuddle Punk (Allan Davis).


Another daughter of Super Punk, Marvin and David Meyer’s Spunky MLT, won the second $20,000 event. Tony Morgan drove the Super Punk-LT Feds brown filly to her first win of the season in 2:03. Conditioned by Paul Wojtowicz, Spunky MLT has never been out of the money in four career starts. My Fire Cloud Too (Allan Davis) came on to finish second. Sparkle Pants (Eddie Dennis) was third.


Penny Paratrooper made it four wins in five races, notching a 2:02.2 victory in the other $20,000 DSBF prelim. The CR Commando-CR Penny Lane lass rolled to a six length score over Callmemza (Jon Roberts). Sign N Drive (Tim Tetrick) was the show horse.

The globetrotting mare started her streak at Harrah’s Philadelphia, then to Pocono Downs, next Yonkers and the last two starts at Dover Downs. Stakes seasoned filly Katie Said (Andy Miller) was second and 40-1 shot Paradise Lost (Ross Wolfenden) was third.
