Returning for this second round of the four-leg series are five leg one winners, including Delovely, who scored a 1:57.3 triumph on July 3 at Northfield Park in rein to Aaron Merriman. Trained by Chris Beaver for owner Renee Bercury, the Cash Hall filly owns a bankroll of $21,550 and starts from post one in the fourth OSS division (race 11). Out of the Amigo Hall mare Daylon Mystique, Delovely Hall was a $65,000 purchase at the Lexington Selected Yearling Sale and was bred by Walnut Hall Limited, Henry Stable and the Daniel McCann Estate. She is the fifth foal out of her dam and is a half-sister to Dancer Hall (by Deweycheatunmnhowe) 5,1:51.1s ($339,660).

Beaver will also harness Lima Gold in the third division (race eight), with Ronnie Wrenn Jr. driving from post five. The Coraggioso filly trotted to 1:58.3 clocking in her career debut in leg one on July 3 at Northfield Park for this same driver. Owned by Spaaaartners, Lima Gold is the third and most successful foal out of the Jailhouse Jess mare Lima Halo. She was bred by Willis Miller.

Globetrotting, a Manofmanymissions lass, also returns after winning leg one at Northfield Park on July 3 in 1:57.3 for driver Anthony MacDonald and trainer Jason McGinnis. Owned by Thestable Globetrotting, Globetrotting earned that victory via a wire-to-wire route. She was a $21,000 purchase at the Ohio Selected Jug Sale and is the fifth foal out of the Andover Hall mare Celebrity Deville 3,1:54.3s ($338,744). Bred by Steiner Stock Farm, Globetrotting starts from post nine in the third division (race eight).

Trainer McGinnis also sends out 1:59.4 leg one winner Compass Rose DC from post seven in the second OSS division (race four). Steered by James MacDonald in that triumph, the daughter of Uncle Peter is making just her second career start in this OSS contest for Thestable Compass Rose DC. Bred by Steiner Stock Farm, Compass Rose DC brought down the hammer for $16,000 at the Ohio Selected Jug Sale last fall. She is the seventh foal out of the Andover Hall mare Pacific Legacy, with half-siblings in Lima Playmate (by Credit Winner) 2,1:57s ($265,755) and Lima Pride (by Muscle Massive) 3,1:56.4f ($105,746).

Spend That Money — who won leg one at Northfield Park on July 3 in 1:58.3 — is another McGinnis trainee who starts from post five in the first division with James MacDonald at the lines. This Uncle Peter lass has $23,100 in her coffers, as she also won a 2-year-old overnight at Northfield Park on June 26 in 2:01.1. She is the first foal out of the Muscles Yankee mare Spend It In and was bred by Cornerstone Stock Farm, bringing a price tag of $11,500 from the 2018 Ohio Selected Jug Sale.

Ohio Sires Stakes continue Friday night (July 19) at Scioto Downs with three $40,000 divisions for 2-year-old pacing fillies and two $50,000 divisions for 3-year-old trotting colts.
