PANTS ON FIRE BACK TO WINNING WAYS – TAKES SKIP AWAY STAKES

Oceanport, N.J. -- Pants On Fire rewarded his backers who sent him off as the 2-5 favorite, taking the $75,000 Skip Away Stakes by a length as Malibu Way captured the $60,000 Lamplighter Stakes at Monmouth Park on Saturday.

Racing in the colors of George and Lori Hall, Pants On Fire sat off early fractions of :23 2/5 for the quarter and :47 for the half-mile before assuming command at the head of the stretch and holding off the late challenge of Norman Asbjornson.
