EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- July 12, 2025 -- Driver Dexter Dunn carved a path to the lead out of the second tier and uncorked a monumental 1:48.4 performance in the $172,650 Jerry Silverman Memorial on Saturday night (July 12) at The Meadowlands.


Outside starters Wickedpace and Thebeautifulthings swooped down to the top into a :26.4 first quarter as Rodeo Drive Deo hustled outside on the rim towards the front with Miki And Minnie in tow. Rodeo Drive Deo brushed to the lead but Miki And Minnie emerged on top through the shuffle and carried the field to the half in :55.

 

Miki And Minnie cruised around the final turn while Rodeo Drive Deo angled out of the pocket to take a shot at the leader, but she began to waver spinning off three-quarters in 1:23. The whole field then straggled in the straightaway as Miki And Minnie motored through a :25.4 final quarter to win under wraps by five lengths in 1:48.4. Wickedpace, at long odds, held second with Thebeautifulthings, at even longer odds, taking third. Looksgoodinloulou stormed down the center of the track for fourth.


“She’s unbelievable,” co-owner Criag Henderson said. “She never quits, she always goes. And there’s a reason Chris Ryder is in the Hall of Fame; this is another example of it. Chris said she’d been training great all week, and when you have Dexter Dunn behind the horse, it’s a good thing.”


Ryder trains Miki And Minnie, a homebred filly by Always B Miki out of the Roll With Joe mare That’s The Ticket, for owners Craig Henderson, Robert Mondillo and Larry Minowitz. She won her fourth race from five starts this season and her 10th race from 16 starts overall, accruing $1,101,337 in earnings. She paid $3.40 to win.
