Leaving from the rail, Makin Some Noise got away second behind Gd Western Joe (Austin Hanners). Despite an opening quarter in :26, the gelded son of Always B Miki popped the pocket and gained control of the field. Makin Some Noise was unchallenged throughout the remainder of the mile, setting fractions of :53.2 and 1:21.1 before tripping the wire in 1:48.2. Later Dudes (Tyler Smith) was second while Cody Hanover (Dan Noble) finished third.

The victory broke the previous track record of 1:48.4 set by Ocean Rock in 2020.

Unraced at two, Makin Some Noise has made quite the entrance into his racing career. Undefeated last year and now at the age of four, he has hit the board in 18 of 21 lifetime starts. In 2022, Makin Some Noise has visited the winner’s circle seven times and bankrolled $105,665. Edward Miller trains for Rebecca Sugg.

Brett Miller also took the $24,000 Open II Pace with Odds On Shaggy in 1:49.2. The Virgil Morgan Jr. trainee went gate-to-wire as the betting favorite. The 4-year-old gelded son of Racing Hill is owned by Odds On Racing. Modern Rock As (Brady Galliers) crossed the finish for second and Hardt At Work (Mike Micallef) completed the trifecta.
