Northfield, OH – Sunday night (Oct. 4) Northfield Park plays host to the $100,000 Ohio Sires Stakes Finals for 4-year-olds and up, across all four divisions.
Adding even more excitement to an already loaded 15-race program, races 9 through 12 will make up an all-stakes $10,000-guaranteed Pick-4 pool.
The action gets rolling in Race 9 with the 4-year-old-and-up trotting mares, where a familiar rivalry will take center stage.
Legacy Affair (Post 6) and Jurassic Hattie (Post 5) meet again after their memorable showdown in the Tom Aldrich Memorial Trot back in August. Legacy Affair crossed the wire first that night but was subsequently placed second behind Jurassic Hattie following a pylon violation. Now, the two rivals get another opportunity to settle the score. Standing in their way is a formidable pair, including millionaire Sugar Instead, the 2023 and 2024 Ohio Sires Stakes champion, along with Abbey D (Post 3), who enters as the 8-5 morning-line favorite.
The spotlight then shifts to the pacing mares, where Odds on Chesapeake (Post 5) headlines the field. The 2026 Buckeye Distaff winner has established herself among Ohio’s top pacing mares and will carry the distinction of being the 2-1 morning-line favorite into Sunday night’s showdown.
Then it’s time to turn to the boys.
The trotting division is led by Hung Over (Post 5), who enters Sunday night as the 6-5 morning-line favorite following his victory in the 2026 Aged Ohio Breeders Championship at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. With a major championship already on his resume this season, Hung Over will look to add another prestigious Ohio title to his record when the gate springs.
The final division could provide the most star power of the night.
The heavyweight pacing field features several familiar names, including Clever Cody (Post 2), the 2023 and 2024 Ohio Sires Stakes champion. Clever Cody comes into the veteran final with plenty of momentum after recently capturing the Myron Charna Presidents Pace at Northfield Park, defeating none other than Charlie May (Post 3). Charlie May is no stranger to championship success himself. The $2.5 million-plus earner is already a two-time aged Ohio Sires Stakes champion, making his presence in this field a major storyline.
However, the morning-line nod belongs to another talented pacer. Paris’s Dragon, winner of the 2025 Myron Charna, drew the rail and has been installed as the 2-1 morning-line favorite. With Paris’s Dragon on the inside, Clever Cody looking to defend his Charna win, and Charlie May looking to reclaim the spotlight, the heavyweight pacing finale has all the ingredients of a memorable finish to the all-stakes Pick-4.
Four $100,000 finals. Four divisions packed with Ohio standouts all part of the 15-race Sunday night card. Post time at 6 p.m.
