Maryland Sires Stakes contested at Rosecroft

Ft. Washington, MD — Corey Callahan, Russell Foster and Pat Berry showed their winning prowess, winning featured events on the Sunday night (April 18) Rosecroft card.

Foster got it going with a win with Yall Beneath Me, making his 2021 season debut, and the 4-year-old stallion by Googoo Gaagaa held off a stubborn stablemate in Whoopdee Goo (Callahan) in 1:55.2 in the $13,000 Maryland Sires Stakes for older trotters. Richard Hans bred, owns, and trains both trotters. Yall Beneath Me is now 15-for-16 lifetime and has earnings of $169,325.

There were three other MDSS divisions for older horses, as Callahan won with Fantastic Voyage ($2.40) for owner-breeder Dawn Amiss and trainer Shaun Callahan in 1:51.2. Stablemate Owzitgoin (Jason Thompson) and Nvrfearlloydishere (Eddie Davis Jr.) took the place and show spots in the $13,300 division for older pacers.

On the ladies side, Jared Moyer steered Pats A Keeper ($3.00) to her 12th career win, as the 5-year-old Lockkeeper mare held off Winnie The Goo (Davis Jr.) and Going Gaa Gaa (Callahan) in the $13,200 pace for older mares. The winner is owned by Pamela Wagner and trained by John Wagner. She completed the mile in 1:57.3.

After a chalky start, there was potential for an upset in the $13,200 older pacing mares division as a wide open field of six went to the gate. When the smoke cleared, 12-1 shot Alexis’ Fraternity ($27.20) took over with just over a sixteenth of a mile to go and scored the biggest victory of her career in 1:55.2. Driver Timmy Offutt trains and co-owns the 5-year-old mare by The Fraternity Pan with Gerald and Tammy Lafferty. Both her sire and mother, Boca Hanover, had extensive racing histories at Rosecroft.

Berry completed a hat trick on the night, winning the $10,500 Open Handicap with Carlisimo in 1:51.2 for owner Eric Good and trainer Josh Green. Berry also won with Transparency and Foiledbythebeach.

Callahan won a second time with Dancing On A Star and Foster wrapped up the night with a win aboard Rose Run Ranger.

Wagner and Justin Brenneman each had training doubles on the night.
