Udell and Myers first win was recorded in the second division of two-year-old trotting fillies as J-S Miss Ruby won by six lengths in a time of 2:10.3. The Jailhouse Jesse filly is owned by Jack Myers Racing Stable. Joining J-S Miss Ruby as a repeat winner is the Guccio daughter J-S Miss Carly. The freshman filly trotted home in :29.4 to win by 11 lengths in 2:07.3. J-S Jasper was an overwhelming winner in the second division of two-year-old colt and gelding trotters with a win by 22 and one-half lengths in a time of 2:03.4. Joining the Big Stick Lindy gelding as a winner on the day was J-S Ivan The Great, a son of Swan for All, who won his division in 2:10.3, to mark the fourth two-year-old trotter for Udell and Myers that is undefeated in two starts.
The always tough Don Eash Stable also had multiple winners on the card, including Whom Shall I Love from the first crop of trotting stallion Whom Shall I Fear. The two-year-old trotting filly, driven and trained by Eash, was an eight-plus length winner in 2:13.0. Eash also had winners in the three-year-old pacing ranks as ER Roxanne won her filly division in 2:04.2 and Letsmakithapncapn won a division of the sophomore pacing colts and geldings in 1:59.2.
