Northfield, OH – Drama Act overcame post eight to prevail against Grand Circuit stock in Saturday’s (Oct. 17) $120,000 Courageous Lady at MGM Northfield Park.

Driven by Matt Kakaley, Drama Act sat sixth through the :27.2 opening quarter.

“I was just trying to get her around a few and then drop in,” explained Kakaley.

Drama Act found herself second-over through fractions of :55.4 and 1:23.3.  Kakaley moved her three-wide in the final turn and she bested Perfect Storm (David Miller) by a head in 1:51.1.  Pettycoat Business (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) was third.

“I moved her three-wide and she got the job done,” said Kakaley.  “She is a really nice filly.”
