Bred by Doug Demontigny, the son of Travelin Miracle out of Rare Hula now owns a 6-2-1-1 record with earnings of $11,763. Earlier this season, he finished fifth in the Rusty Wilson Memorial Futurity.

Third-fastest qualifier Ac Memaws Moonpie battled gamely between rivals to finish third under Gonzalo Gutierrez, covering the distance in :19.186.

Bred and trained by Mark Allery for owner Cyrus Davis, the gelding is by Louisiana Jambalaya out of the Maltese Dog mare Doggerinii. He now sports a record of 5-0-2-1 with earnings of $6,610.
