Rose Run Zoom – Ohio Aged Horse and Gelding Trotter of the Year
The 4-year-old Uncle Peter gelding out of Loconotion hit the board in 22 of 40 starts in 2025, compiling a record of 11-6-5 with $176,340 in earnings. Trained by Cory Kreiser, Rose Run Zoom won five Open-level events this year, all at MGM Northfield Park.
Bred by Rose Run Farm and owned by Thunder Racing Stables and Cory Kreiser Racing, Rose Run Zoom also scored 11 wins last season. He has hit the board in 49 of 76 lifetime starts with 23 wins and $377,330 in earnings and owns a lifetime mark of 1:53.3, set at Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway on Dec. 13, 2024.
“He’s a tough horse both on and off the track,” said Rose Run Farm corresponding officer Alvin Yoder. “It took a little extra work to get him to where he is today, but he’s consistently tough and is still racing well.”
Jurassic Hattie – Ohio Aged Mare Trotter of the Year
Owned and bred by Jerry Welch, Jurassic Hattie hit the board in 13 of 18 starts this season with six victories to go with five seconds and two thirds. The 4-year-old Volstead mare out of High Gear Sahbra bankrolled $224,130 on the year and recorded a lifetime mark of 1:50.4 at Miami Valley Raceway on April 30.
Her highlight wins included the $100,000 Ohio Sires Stakes Veterans Championship and a division of the Ohio Breeders Championship Aged Trot. The Stacey Van Huizen trainee finished second in the $250,000 Dayton Oaks Derby Grand Circuit event.
Jurassic Hattie has a career record of 15-13-2 in 38 starts with $665,994 in earnings.
“She’s been a lot of fun and is deserving of this recognition. I want to thank trainer Eric Nesselroad for the first two years that she raced and Stacey Van Huizen and driver Brett Miller for taking her over as a 4-year-old and continuing with her progress,” Welch said. “From the time she was little, she was always outstanding. She’s super nice to be around in the barn, but when she goes out to race, it’s all business for her. She’s a professional — she does her job and takes it seriously.”
Rose Run Zoom and Jurassic Hattie will be honored at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Annual Awards Banquet on Jan. 10, 2026, at the Renaissance Columbus-Westerville in Westerville, OH.
The 2025 Ohio Horse of the Year will be announced at the awards banquet.
