Breaking from post 10 under Declan Cannon at 5/1 odds, Lanier sat in a close stalking position while Richiesinthehouse and Gone Ghost dueled through opening fractions of :23.99 and :47.56. Given his cue in the far turn, Lanier tipped out to run three-wide and was the first competitor to take a run at the top pair. Taking command at 1/4 pole, Lanier drew off sharply in the stretch to win by 4 lengths. The Brett Santangelo trainee’s winning time was 1:35.84 for the mile-long event over the all weather main track.
