McMarkle Sparkle, the 1-1 choice, did not disappoint her backers as the homebred McArdle lass paced to a 1:52.4 victory for Laura and Paul Baker.

Trained by Jim Arledge Jr., McMarkle Sparkle used come-from-behind tactics for driver Brett Miller, who steered her to a head victory over 6-1 Corner Pocket (Chris Page) with 6-5 Beautiful Beach (Aaron Merriman) a length behind in third.

McMarkle Sparkle now has $93,050 in career earnings from four wins, one second and a third in six starts. She captured her OSS leg one in 1:54.3, was third in leg two and won leg three in 1:53.3.

McMarkle Sparkle is the seventh foal out of the Towner’s Big Guy mare It’s Ladies Nite p,3,1:51s ($56,535) — herself a former OSS victress.

The second OSS division saw 1-9 Looksgoodinaromper take advantage of a perfect steer by driver Chris Page to win easily in 1:52.4, besting rivals 20-1 PJ’s Legacy (Ryan Stahl) and 4-1 Artful Dancer (Aaron Merriman).

Trained by Ron Burke for the partnership of Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi, Looksgoodinaromper is a daughter of Pet Rock, and the first foal out of the Village Connection mare Don’t Blame Her p,1:51.2s ($830,555). This latest triumph pushed her career earnings to $91,300 from three wins, one second and one third in five starts.

Ohio Sires Stakes action continues Friday night (Aug. 23) with two $50,000 divisions for 3-year-old pacing colts at Scioto Downs and Saturday night (Aug. 24) with a trio of $40,000 divisions at Northfield Park for 2-year-old pacing colts.
