    Delaware, Ohio--Art’s Challenge sat off the blistering early pace, then
rushed through the stretch to edge Four Starzz Shark and Real Desire in the

    Four Starzz Shark and Real Desire battled through a Delaware record :25.3
first quarter and a :54.3 half. Four Starzz Shark remained on top through the
three-quarters (1:23.2) but gave way to Art’s Challenge in the final
sixteenth. The Odds On Racing Stable’s Art’s Challenge, a 5-year-old gelding
by Artsplace, scored in 1:52.1 for driver Dave Magee.

    The winner returned $57.40, 15.60, 7.10; Four Starzz Shark $5.40, 2.10;
and Real Desire $2.10.
