Edgerton, OH — Alesha Binkley captured the Ohio Ladies Pace Series race at the Montgomery County Fair races on Sunday (Sept. 23) with Officer Jones (Always A Virgin-Tyber Song).

The fair’s races were held at Hollywood Gaming Dayton Raceway this year since a racetrack has not been constructed on the fair’s new fairgrounds.

Officer Jones is a 5-year-old gelding and is owned by Trent Stohler Stable Inc. with Trent Stohler doing the conditioning. The time for the winning mile was 1:57.1.

The points earned by the ten ladies who drove in Sunday’s race will be their first points for the 2019 season since the 2018 season ended with the Ohio Ladies Pace Series final at the Delaware County Fair in Delaware on Tuesday (Sept. 18).

Mandy Jones finished as the leader in points earned for the 2018 season and she will be honored at the Ohio Fair Racing Conference Awards Banquet on Saturday (Nov. 17) at the Ward L. Adams American Legion Post No. 54 near Ridgeville Corners, Ohio. Anyone wishing information about the banquet should contact Bill Peters at 419.298.7408 or 419.630.5952.
