Dayton, OH — Sayinwhatimthinkin and driver Trevor Smith used a gate-to-wire effort to score a 2-length victory in Wednesday’s (Oct. 28) $21,000 conditioned trotting feature at Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway.
Herecomecharlie B (Austin Hanners) was the first off the gate’s wings but quickly found himself between rivals as Nickel And Dime advanced on the inside and Sayinwhatimthinkin on the outside.
Sayinwhatimthinkin marched to the front, putting Nickel And Dime into the pocket.
The half-mile time was :56.2 after an opening quarter of :27.4.
Triathlon As (Jeremy Smith) was flushed off the rail, providing cover for Vekna (Kayne Kauffman).
Unpressured at the three-quarters in 1:25, Sayinwhatimthinkin put some daylight between himself and his challengers around the final turn, cruising home in 1:54.1.
Triathlon As closed for second, edging out Nickel And Dime by a quarter of a length.
The 6-year-old gelded son of Swan For All, whom Jeff Smith trains for Tdtrot LLC, picked up his 17th career win.
Three-time Dayton Raceway leading driver Jeremy Smith enjoyed a big night, recording a grand slam on the 14-race card.
Smith opened the evening with a victory behind Granite Ridge Lady, stopping the clock in 1:52.4, and capped the program with a win behind Juliet Capulet in 1:53.1. In between, he guided She’s As Well to a 1:53.1 triumph and Victorious Farah to victory in 1:54.1.
