BUCK DANCER (NW2500) tucked early, raced second over, rallied well and was second best to the pocket sitting favorite in another good effort.

TAMARA HANOVER (NW1400FM) closed well from 2nd over to just miss the prize on a night when speed won more than half the races.

LILYS LASS (NW1400) was parked to the lead, yielded, sat pocket and was second best to the prohibitive pacesetting winner.

SANTAFES APPETITE (NW2500FM) rolled around the track at own clip and was much the best.

SHOOT THE WHISKEY (NW2500FM) showed some good pace in late rally to earn 3rd place money.

MY GIRL FRIDAY (NW2FM) brushed and won again getting her 4th straight to start her career.

Saturday, December 20

LIQUOR TALKIN (NW15000) finished full of pace from a distant 4th over to be get up for second and earns a long look in next.
