Sandbetweenmytoes shot the Lightning Lane to cut into the lead but came up a length short of the three-year-old Downbytheseaside-Peanutbettor Shake gelding, who prevailed in 1:50.2 for Aaron Merriman to match his career fastest. Fourever Boy rallied for show.
Bill Bercury trains Liteningonthebeach, who was unraced at two but has banked $220,510 this year, for Renee Bercury.
Ronnie Wrenn Jr. teamed with trainer Ron Burke for three wins on the 13-race card.
