The favored Love U Overandover used a late speed surge and the preferred pylon
path to capture Saturday night's $7,600 featured trot at Vernon Downs.
With trainer John Duer in the
sulky, Love U Overandover ($6.10) drafted along in fourth until the final
quarter, then chose the inside route, while tossing in a :28-second closing
kicker, to defeat the front-striding Ulay Boko by a length in Saturday's ninth
event.
The 1:55.2 clocking proved to be
a fresh win-mark for the 4-year-old daughter of Andover Hall-Love You Most, who
is owned by her breeder, the Peninsula Farm of Lexington, KY. The career winner of $145,335 became the
20th two-time winner at the 13-night meeting, while raising her
lifetime tally total to eight.
Leading driver Chris Lems (26
scores) earned his third local double during Saturday's 10-race card, while
driver Claude Huckabone, III came up with three first-place finishes and driver
Kevin Switzer, Jr. two.
DOWNS DOINGS—Of Vernon's 20 two-time
current winners, 10 have been on the trot (the leader is Ziegler Hanover with
three) and a like number on the pace (the leader being Cheap N Easy with
three)…
Vincent Rampe's trotter Wicked
Schooner, as well as the pacer Maxnifizent, owned by Michelle C. and Albert C.
Crawford, each earned their "maiden" victories during Saturday's competition…The
Downs will conclude its Memorial Day weekend with a 13-race card beginning at
1:15 on Monday (May 28)…Additional information regarding Vernon Downs, its
