Ft. Washington, MD — Tina Duer’s Chinese Cuisine continued a record breaking fall meet at Rosecroft Raceway by setting a mark for all trotters, winning the $10,000 Open in 1:53.4.

Trainer-driver John Duer was in the bike for the 6-year-old son of Revenue S-Missysmandarine.

Duer put Chinese Cuisine on the lead just after the :27.3 first quarter and posted fractions of :56 and 1:24.2 before coming home in :29.2 to win by 4-3/4 lengths over House On Fire (Jonathan Roberts) and Molly B’Golly (Donnie Russell).

It was the fourth different track record broken this fall at Rosecroft and knocked Mandabra, Pekoe Fashion and Hambletonian champion Vivid Photo from the record book.

Lord Terror gave trainer Eric Ell his third different Open Pace winner of the meet as Mike Beaver steered the son of Western Terror to a half-length victory over Lyons Meandragon (Roger Plante) and Game Day (Corey Braden) in 1:52.2.

Roberts and Brian Burton had driving doubles on the card.
