Summer Slash took advantage of a perfect setup en route to a 1:56 score in Buffalo Raceway’s $12,200 featured distaff pace on a drizzly Wednesday afternoon (April 24).

In his first Regional Driving Championship appearance, Tyler Borth showed he’s a main-event player with a victory in the 2024 Ontario Regional Driving Championship (ORDC) on Tuesday (April 23) at The Raceway at the Western Fair District, in London, Ont.

Call Me Goo’s dad, Googoo Gaagaa, was a world champion with wicked speed, and her mom, Callmemza, won multiple Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund finals. Her sister Callmegaga was a one time Maryland Sire Stakes record holder, and her grandfather, Great George Two, while quirky, could fly. So it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that Call Me Goo is a talented horse. On Tuesday night (April 23) at Rosecroft, the 4-year-old started her new year in fine fashion romping to victory in the $25,900 Maryland Sire Stakes for 4- and 5-year-old trotters in 1:54.2.

Making his first start at Plainridge Park this year on Thursday (April 18), Snowpiercer made quick and easy work of the competition in the $17,000 featured trot and notched his fourth win of the year in the process.

A pair of Hall Of Fame horsemen, driver David Miller and trainer Joe Holloway, combined with Benjamin Hanover to win Thursday’s (April 18) $13,500 trotting feature in a lifetime-best 1:52.3.

Four of the five winners in Tuesday afternoon’s (April 16) $20,000 second-round divisions of the Bobby Weiss Trotting Series for sophomore fillies at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania were repeat winners from last week. In five $17,500 third-round preliminaries of the Game Of Claims Trotting Series for $30,000 horsess, driver Simon Allard and trainer Mark Akins teamed for three winners, including a pair of prelim sweepers – but only one of those horses will be coming back for them in next Tuesday’s series Championship.
