On Sept. 5, in the $300,000 Ohio Sires Stakes final at MGM Northfield Park, Brett Miller guided the daughter of My MVP to a 3-1/2-length win in 1:52.3, which established a new world record for sophomore trotting fillies over a half-mile oval.

Herculisa, who will leave from post position one, is trained by Virgil Morgan Jr., is scheduled to be driven by Brett Miller, and is owned by Steve Finkelstein’s Jesmeral Stable of Scarsdale, N.Y. She has earned $356,862 lifetime and comes into the OBC with five wins in her last six starts.

Celebrate With Me (Chris Page), Swizzle Hanover and Designer Specs should be serious challengers to Herculisa.

Celebrate With Me (post six) has finished first or second in nine of her 10 seasonal starts. She has won $279,132 for Burke Racing Stable, BFJ Stable, Weaver Bruscemi and Knox Services. Swizzle Hanover (post five) has been ultra-consistent this year, picking up purse checks in her last nine starts. She is co-owned by trainer Randy Bendis and Reed Broadway. Designer Specs (post two) was a perfect 14-for-14 last season as a 2-year-old and has picked up another eight wins this season. She is co-owned by Louise and Jay Weller, who trains.

The Monday undercard will feature four $17,500 divisions of the Buckeye Stallion Series for 3-year-old pacing colts and geldings, and a quartet of $17,500 divisions of the BSS for freshman pacing fillies.

The 16-race card will go postward at 3 p.m.
