Champion Venerable seeks to return to her winning ways after an eighth-place finish in the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks on Aug. 6 in the second Championship series leg for trotting fillies.

Venerable (David Miller) will leave from post position six in a field of 10 in race 12. The daughter of Walner-Jolene Jolene captured her Oaks elimination but the filly committed a costly break in the final as the public’s second choice.

Trained by Nifty Norman, Venerable is 7-2 on the morning line. The filly is owned by David McDuffee, Melvin Hartman, Paul Bordogna and Steven Arnold. Her record stands at 18-12-2-1 and she has banked $1.12 million.

The three Commonwealth divisions consist of two legs for 2-year-old pacing fillies and one leg for 3-year-old trotting fillies.

The six Golden Rod divisions are comprised of three legs for 2-year-old pacing fillies and three legs for 3-year-old filly trotters.

Sunday’s card will also offer a $10,000 guaranteed Pick-4 beginning in the seventh race and a $40,000 guaranteed Super High-Five on the 14th race in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering program.
