Frau Blucher and Ron Pierce set a world record of 1:53.1 in the second division of the Buckette for 3-year-old filly trotters on Wednesday at the Delaware County Fair.

The mile, raced in take-no-prisoners fashion, gave Frau Blucher (Broadway Hall-My Angel, by Muscles Yankee) her sixth sophomore win in 11 tries, and the Lisa McNerney-bred filly has now won $759,617 lifetime.

Frau Blucher left from post position two and went right to the front, cutting out fractions of :27.4, :56.4 and 1:24.1.

Coffeecake Hanover (Yannick Gingras) and Bethel Hanover (Brian Sears), who sat behind the winner the entire mile, finished second and third, respectively.

“At the end of the day a world record is certainly a great thing and it means a lot to have her put her name in the history books,” said co-owner Timothy Hauser. “I’ve always had a great amount of faith in her.

“We struggled with her earlier in the year and the Hambletonian Oaks was a setback (sixth placed tenth after a break) because we expected to run one or two, but now we will gear her up for the Breeders Crown and see what we have for Bee A Magician.”

Miller’s Stable’s Silver Credit, in rein to Corey Callahan, used the number one post to its greatest advantage in the $52,194 first division of the Buckette.

Silver Credit was victorious in the first division of the Buckette for 3-year-old filly trotters on Wednesday at the Delaware County Fair in 1:54.4.

The Randy Beekman-trained miss by Muscles Yankee and out of Credit Review (by Credit Winner) went wire-to-wire through splits of :27, :55.2 and 1:24 on the way to a 1:54.4 win — a new mark and (at the time) a national season’s record for a 3-year-old trotting filly on a half-mile track.

Silver Credit has now won four of 13 this year and has won three straight — all on half-mile tracks.

UF Tadys Donato (Brian Sears) finished second, 6-1/4 lengths behind the winner, and Andie Sophia (Tim Tetrick) came from off the pace to earn third money.

“We were very glad to get the one (post),” said winning trainer Randy Beeckman. “She has been very consistent the whole year and it was nice to have things go her way a little bit.

“She really enjoys racing and likes what she does.

“I’m hoping her next start, which will be down in Lexington, she won’t have to do it on the front end again. She’s been out there a lot. After Lexington, if all goes well we will go to the Breeders Crown.”
