Ft. Washington, MD — Favorites left little to the imagination or drama on Sunday night (May 23) as four Maryland Sires Stakes finals, each carrying a purse of $70,000, highlighted the card at Rosecroft.

Real Made, a sophomore son of Rusty’s For Real, made a strong brush after the quarter and rolled to a victory for Allan Davis in the 3-year-old male pace category. Brian Wright trains the homebred of owner Dale Hall Jr., who scored an easy 1:53.2 win, netting a new lifetime mark and his third lifetime victory in 10 starts. This was his second MDSS final victory as he capped his 2-year-old season with a victory back in November.

Funnyfunnyriddle took top honors in the sophomore male trotting ranks, scoring as a heavy favorite for driver Jim Morand and trainer Les Givens in 1:59.3. Jim Magno bred and co-owns the winner with Nanticoke Racing Inc. and Joseph Fonte. He is now 8-for-12 lifetime and sheds some of the sting from having to scratch sick out of last November’s final after winning two preliminary legs.

Madisonsallin held off stablemates Kelseys For Real and Samantha’s All In to give trainer John Wagner a sweep of the top three spots in the 3-year-old filly pacing category. Eddie Davis Jr., piloted the winner for owner Pamela Wagner in 1:53.1, a new lifetime mark for the daughter of Rusty’s All In.

Pride Of Windswept kept up her dominance in the 3-year-old filly trotting category, still having never lost a Maryland Sires Stakes event in nine tries. Corey Callahan drove the homebred of John and Sarah Swart for his brother Shaun Callahan who trains the daughter of Charlie De Vie. She raised her lifetime earnings to $122,975 in 12 lifetime starts.

JJ Flynn appeared at Rosecroft for the first time this meet and stormed past Keep On Rocking A to win the $11,000 Open Handicap Pace in 1:50. Allan Davis drove the winner for trainer Chuck Crissman Jr. and owners David Hamm and Rodney Long.

Jonathan Roberts, like Davis, had a double and he and Russell Foster enter the last night of the meet Wednesday with 61 wins each atop the Rosecroft drivers standings. John Wagner has secured the training title and had three training wins on the night.
