The 3-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere, 4-for-4 to begin her career, made short work of her rivals (:28.2, :57.2, 1:26) before winning by a length. "She's a bit green and hasn't quite figured out of the turns, but she can go," Brennan said. The lass is co-owned (as Drennan Stable) by (trainer) Nik Drennan, Joseph Davino and Brad Shackman. Driver Scott Zeron won two of the Petticoat divisions, with Capela ($2.60) in 1:55, and Little Miss Sporty ($5.90) in a life-best 1:54.4. Both are 4-year-old Sportswriter ma'ams. The former, trained by Wayne Givens for co-owners Legacy Racing of Delaware and Reginald Hazzard II, is now 3-for-6 this season (3-for-3 since adding Lasix). The latter, owned by Stacy Reinsma and trained by Andrew Harris, has three (consecutive) wins in her five seasonal starts.  The evening's final series division went to a seasonal-debuting Special Package (Jason Bartlett, $3.40) in 1:55.4.
