Notes and quotes from the undercard:
• Two-time Maryland Hunt Cup winner Buck Jakes took advantage of perfect conditions underfoot and appropriate calendar fixture at Ben Venue to prep for the Hunt Cup hat-trick. Anne Moran guided the popular gray son of Turkoman to victory in the three-mile ladies timber. “They didn’t make it easy for me, though,” said Moran, enjoying her first ride back on Jake after breaking her back in a training fall last autumn. “It’s so hard to win against these Virginia ladies. They’re just so good.”
Second-placed Julie Gomena pressured the champ to the wire, beaten just a head aboard Gorfen Letch.
• Middleburg cattle-crop farmer Loring Heard wrested individual control of the Pageland owner-rider hurdle series lead with a second division victory aboard his Timber Way. The light bay gelding was claimed by Heard at the 1996 Fairfax Races from “turnover trainer” Ricky Hendriks.
Owner-rider timber specialist Henry Wood Jr. also repeated in his division race, winning a fourth series event with Be Nimble.
• Open hurdle winner Class Eminence is a homebred from the Mede Cahaba Stable
