On a beautiful Monday (Aug. 25) in the Bluegrass Miki And Minnie maintained her win streak in a geared down 1:50 at The Red Mile in the $80,000 third round leg of the Kentucky Championship Series for sophomore filly pacers. Go Dog Go left favored Super Chapter well behind to return to the winner’s circle in 1:53.2 in his $80,000 third round leg of the series for 3-year-old male trotters. The 14-race card also included three $30,000 third round legs of the Kentucky Commonwealth Series, four $15,000 third round legs of the Kentucky Golden Rod Series and one $10,000 third round leg of the Kentucky Wildcat Series.

Elizabeth and Bret Brittingham’s Itsrockandroll A ($18.20, Allan Davis) was a 1:53.2 winner in the $18,000 Open Pace Monday (Aug. 25) at Harrington Raceway.

A trio of $15,000 contests for up-and-coming horses fitting the basic condition of “non-winners of four races life” topped the Monday (Aug. 25) afternoon racing at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

Bob Shahan’s Jett Propelled ($15, Jason Thompson) was a fortuitous winner Monday (Aug. 18) at Harrington Raceway with a 1:54.3 triumph in the $18,000 Mares Open.

On yet another blazing hot day in the Bluegrass Monday (Aug. 18), It Could Be Worse could not have performed better in the $80,000 third round leg of the Kentucky Sire Stakes Championship Series at The Red Mile for freshman male trotters in 1:53. The day’s events included a $35,000 second round leg of the Kentucky Sire Stakes Series for older pacing mares, two $30,000 third round legs of the Kentucky Commonwealth Series, three $15,000 third round legs of the Kentucky Golden Rod Series and two $10,000 third round divisions of the Kentucky Wildcat Series. The older mare series was the only contest not for 2-year-old male trotters.

There were five $15,000 feature races at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania on Monday (Aug. 18) afternoon. They were for developing horses basically fitting the “non-winners of four races lifetime” description, and there were divisions for the major categories.

Dewey Arnold (Ron Harp) hangs on to capture the $8,500 featured Open Trot at Vernon Downs on Friday (Aug.15).
