June 1, 2024 – Devon, PA – Alex Matz and Dorothy Matz’s Cashew CR posted a jump-off time of 34.71 that could not be beat to take the win in tonight’s $145,100 Idle Dice Open Jumper Stake. Two seconds behind Matz, and taking second for the second time this week it was Lillie Keenan and Chansonette Farm, LLC’s Kick On with a time of 36.70. Rounding out the top three of an all American podium tonight with a little bit of sibling rivalry was Lucy Matz aboard Fyolieta, the pair went clear in 38.03.
