Leading driver Jim Hardy drove Ira R. to the finish in a slick 1:56.4 in a race for 3-year-old colts and geldings.
In the non-betting class for the same conditions, Don Gaudette Jr., who's been hot in the bike of late, found the winner's circle with the Dawn Anderson trained Bell A Chick with a 1;58.4 mile around America's youngest harness track.
