Lebanon, OH — Two additional fields of Claim To Fame Series finalists were determined during the frigid cold Monday (Jan. 21) matinee at Miami Valley Raceway.

In the split for $8,000 claiming mares, driver Trace Tetrick guided both Maggies Way and Dolly’s Girl to convincing victories to cement their spots in the $17,500 championship leg next Monday.

Maggies Way topped Turnitdownforwatt (Josh Sutton) and Desires Lady (Brett Miller) in 1:55.1, returning $6.60 for a $2 win ticket. Robert Ward trains the 6-year-old daughter of Dream Away for owner Gerald Mijal.

Dolly’s Girl tripped the timer in 1:55.3 for her second straight series triumph, besting Beautiful Brew (Sutton) and Bad Glamour Girl (Dan Noble). Rhonda Manship owns the 7-year-old lass by Dali and Pat Melloy Jr. is her conditioner. The likely favorite in next week’s final paid $4.60 to win.

The nine finalists, in order of their preliminary leg earnings, are Dolly’s Girl, Maggies Way, Susies Soul, Beautiful Brew, Turnitdownforwatt, Bad Glamour Girl, Carries Desire, Endeavors Lady Luck and Luna Hanover.

Fleet Bumblebee (Todd Warren) and longshot Nohillforaclimber (Tetrick) copped the pair of final preliminary legs for $15,000 claiming trotters. The championship field will chase a purse of $27,500 next week.

Fleet Bumblebee, claimed by new owner Denise Maier from the first leg of the series, proved to be an astute acquisition. The 7-year-old son of Pinetucky, trained by Tim Maier, downed Naut E Caviar (John DeLong) and Herbie Hammer (Josh Sutton) in 1:58, paying $6.60.

Nohillforaclimber tracked down favorites Undercover Strike (Kayne Kauffman) and Mikey Hanover (Brett Miller) in 1:57, returning a whopping $56.20 to his discerning mutuel backers. The 5-year-old gelded son of Muscle Hill is a recent purchase by Amy Loney, whose husband Dale serves as trainer.

Squaregaiters who will compete for the generous purse next Monday are Fleet Bumblebee, Mikey Hanover, Nohillforaclimber, Sarah Gator, Undercover Strike, Naut E Caviar, Winwood Scout, Guidas Geisha and Herbie Hammer.

Racing resumes Tuesday afternoon at Miami Valley with two preliminary splits of $12,500 claiming mares and five divisions for male $8,000 claiming pacers. Post time is 2:05 p.m.
