The Windy City Pace
Sam Widger gave Booze Cruzin a perfect steer to win the $220,000 Windy City Pace Friday night at Maywood Park. Trained by Joe Seekman for the Broekhuis Stables LLC of Holland, Michigan, the son of Art's Conquest paced the mile in 1:51.3 to nail his seventh win of the year in 19 starts.

"This is awesome," Widger said. "It's definitely one of the biggest wins of my career. It's great to have the racil with this horse because he's can leave the gate like a rocket. He really held off Home Bed Advantage well, too."

Booze Cruzin pushed his seasonal earnings to $250,387 and his career earnings to $289,497 with the win, his eighth of his career in 33 starts.

The Galt
Green Day captured the first of two $65,000 Galt Trot divisions in a new track and world record time of 1:55.1 for driver Andy Miller. Before He Cheats captured the second division in 1:57.4 for driver Brandon Simpson from the 8-hole.

The Abe Lincoln
Lets Getit Started won the first of two $75,000 Abe Lincoln Stakes for 2-year-olds in 1:53--equally in the stakes record. Piloted by Jason Dillander for trainer Roger Welch, the son of Cole Muffler picked up his third career win in only 9 starts. Andy Ro--an altered son of The Panderosa--captured the second division for Ryan Anderson, pacing in 1:54.4 among seven rivals for trainer Mark Fransen.

The Cinderella
Sportsfancy easily won the $75,000 Cinderella Stake in 1:52.3 for driver Ryan Anderson and his new trainer John Butenschoen and new owner Larry Baron of Horsham, PA. The duaghter of Sportsmaster was making her first start for her new connections, winning her 12th of the year in 18 tries.

The Violet
