Columbus, OH — Trainer Chris Beaver harnessed the first two winners of the Ohio Sires Stakes for 2-year-old trotting fillies on a pleasant, mildly humid Friday night (Aug. 13) at Scioto Downs.

Beaver watched as his Gabbys C Note trotted to a front-stepping 1:56.4 triumph for driver Brett Miller in the first $40,000 OSS division and returned to the winner’s circle in the second $40,000 OSS division as Caviar Roxie Due won easily in a leisurely 1:58.2.
