Gulf Shores remains undefeated with OBC win

Delaware, OH — Freshman pacing star Gulf Shores (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) remained undefeated thanks to a 1:56.2 score in the $132,667 Ohio Breeders Championship on Thursday (Sept. 23) at the Delaware County Fairgrounds.

Sling Shock (Dan Noble) and Gulf Shores swapped the lead early lead, but a quarter-pole move by the eventual winner proved to be the winning one. The son of Downbytheseaside cruised to a two-length win over his rival and Vintage Cowboy (Matt Kakaley).

Gulf Shores, a Brian Brown trainee, won for the sixth straight time for Country Club Acres, Diamond Creek Racing and Wingfield Brothers.

Winning Ticket (Aaron Merriman) continued his dominance over his divisional rivals thanks to a 4-1/2-length score in 1:58.3 in the $100,868 (div.) OBC for sophomore trotting colts and geldings.

The Triumphant Caviar colt remains undefeated in Ohio and has suffered just one defeat this season: a third-place finish in the Canadian Trotting Classic.

Winning Ticket is co-owned by trainer Chris Beaver, Steven Zeehandelar, Tim Homan and Jim Burnett.

Lockbox (Chris Page) took the first $50,434 division in 2:00.4 over Double Down K (Yannick Gingras) and Ilikedecupcakes (Hugh Beaty). The Wishing Stone gelding is trained by Ron Burke for the Burke Racing Stable, Purnel & Libby, J & T Silva Stable and Weaver Bruscemi.

She Knows It All (Tim Tetrick) picked a good time to pick up her first win of the season in the $96,520 OBC for 3-year-old pacing fillies.

The Racing Hill lass went wide into the final turn and passed the tiring leaders to score in 1:55. She paid $30.40 to win.
