Hall-breds won five races, including all three eliminations for the Lexington Breeders' Classic, and the $75,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes final for three-year-old filly pacers.

Perhaps the most interesting confrontation of the night arose in the eighth race, with two undefeated fillies knocking heads in an elimiation of the Lexington Breeders' Classic.

Touch Of Moni, the first foal of the incomparable Moni Maker, entered the race 2 for 2.

Centerfold Hall, on the other hand, was 4 for 4 going into the race, including one stunning effort in the Reynolds stake at Pocono, in which she had made a break at the start, was sitting seventh at the quarter before blasting to the lead at the half and winning by over six lengths.

The betting public made Touch Of Moni a slight favorite, but Centerfold Hall controlled the front end throughout the mile and held off Touch Of Moni's strong finish to win by a half-length in 1:56.3.

Walnut Hall Limited owns the Garland Lobell filly in partnership with the Lucky Shamrock stable.

The Lucky Shamrock stable is owned by noted thoroughbred trainer Nick Zito, who will soon be arriving in Lexington for the Keeneland meet.

Fred Grant trains the still-undefeated filly, who was driven by Yannick Gingras.

Another of the eliminations for the Lexington Breeders' Classic found 1-5 favorite Magenta Hall sprinting home to hold off her competition in 1:59.2, with her last quarter in 27.4.

A winner of the Review Stake at Springfield in 1:55.2 twelve days ago, the Conway Hall-sired two-year-old led every step of the way for Michel Lachance, who has just arrived at the current Red Mile meet.

Bob Bencal trains Magenta Hall, who is now 2 for 2, for the Little E LLC of New York City. Fandango Hall was a solid second, also finishing in 27.4, and Intrigue Hall rounded out the Walnut Hall trifecta.

All About Fun, another Conway Hall baby bred by Walnut Hall, took the sixth wire to wire for Don Irvine, Jr., winning by a neck in 1:59.2.

The Arild Eggen trainee has now won three in a row. She is owned by ACL Stuteri Inc., of Paris, Kentucky.

Artemisia Ambrosio was a very good second in her first lifetime appearence for driver-trainer Dan Daley. Seducer Hall was sent off as the heavy favorite but made a break right when she was taking the lead at the half and ended up parked the rest of the way, settling for third.

The Kentucky Sire Stake final, for $75,000, looked like a competitve affair on paper, but the betting public focused on the right horse, sending Mambo Hall off as a 7-5 favorite.

Sent right to the top by George Brennan, Mambo Hall controlled things throughout and sprinted off with a final kicker in 27.2 to finish off her competition.

Trainer Mark Harder, who has been close to unstoppable all year long, sent out the daughter of Blissful Hall to pick up her third straight win and a new lifetime mark of 1:52.

Mambo Hall is owned by a partnership known as... the Mambo Hall Partners.

Love Lace Mindale made the most of her rail starting position to work out a two-hole trip behind Mambo Hall and hold the second spot, while Terri Hall, another Harder trainee, closed well for the show.

For the second week in a row, Mr Muscleman humbled the local competition and remains undefeated since adding lasix.

Last week, Brendon Johnson drove the 2004 three-year-old colt trotting champion to the front at the three-quarter, but tonight David Miller elected to drive the gelding from the back of the pack.

The result was the same, as Mr Muscleman collared the leader, Mutineer, under confident Miller handling. Mutineer held second; Constable was third.

Noel Daley trains the versative four-year-old who is owned by the Adam Victor & Son Stable.
