Month: July 2023

It was the Downbytheseaside show at MGM Northfield Park Wednesday (July 19) as his daughters swept the three $40,000 Ohio Sires Stakes divisions for 2-year-old filly pacers.

Anthony MacDonald and Jason McGinnis teamed up to win two of the four $20,000 divisions of the Buckeye Stallion Series for freshman filly trotters at MGM Northfield Park Wednesday night (July 19).

Wednesday’s (July 19) opening race, a lower level classified event, attracted the attention of not one, but two 14-year-old high steppers who are charging hard through their final season of racing, both intent on adding to their prolific tallies of victories.

Myrll Vally turned in another dominant performance in the lone $96,500 Indiana Sires Stakes division for 3-year-old trotting fillies at Harrah’s Hoosier Park on Wednesday (July 19) in 1:53. With the win, Myrll Vally captured her second straight stakes victory.

Tony Ciuffetelli sat a comfy trip and struck from the pocket to win going away in the $7,500 North American Amateur Driving Association Trot at Monticello Raceway on Wednesday afternoon (July 19).

Hamburg, NY – Hopefully Buffalo Raceway officials have fast drying ink for the record book. After Deswanslittlelorie set the all-aged trotting record at Buffalo Raceway this past Saturday night with a 1:55.3 time, Wild Bill Kelso came to town on Wednesday afternoon (July 19) and tied that mark with a length victory in a New York Sire Stakes event for the 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters.

Chester, PA – There’s an old adage that “Rainy days and drunken grooms make good race horses,” meaning that a horse left to her own natural ability will frequently have the best chance of success. This attitude was prevalent during the second preliminary of the Pennsylvania-sired program on Wednesday (July 19) afternoon at Harrah’s Philadelphia, as many of the two-year-old trotting filly winners were either pointed to the top and went on to victory, or were moved first-over and went on to the triumph.
