from Miami Valley Raceway
Lebanon, OH — My Hare Lady led a cavalry charge through the wire to capture the $15,000 championship final of a three-week Survivor Series for $5,000 claiming mares on Monday afternoon (Feb. 27) at Miami Valley Raceway.
The 8-year-old Jereme’s Jet lass held on by a nose over Certitude (Brady Galliers), with show finisher Endeavors Ladyluck (Jeremy Smith) and a host of others all within a couple lengths at the end of the 1:55.3 mile.
The ‘Brew Crew’ of trainer Jeff Brewer and his son, driver Jason Brewer, condition the horse for owner Chris Choros.
After winning a division of the first elimination, My Hare Lady was second by a length in the second round to advance to the lucrative final. Sent off at 9-2 odds, the winner returned $11.60 in the final.
In the program’s nightcap, longshots Absolute Purity (Kayne Kauffman) and Thunder Noise (Jeff McNabb) combined for a record exacta payoff. With Absolute Purity going off at 64-1 and paying $131.80 to win, and runner-up Thunder Noise going off at 42-1, the exacta payoff of $7,020.20 was the highest in the four-year history of Miami Valley.
