Fort Washington, MD — A field of five racing under saddle trotters descend upon Rosecroft Sunday evening (Nov. 4) in the third and final leg of the RUS MidAtlantic Trotting Series. The non-wagering race has an anticipated post time of 7:30 p.m., to be contested between the third and fourth races on the wagering program.

All-time favorite Hyway Marcus (Sasha Moczulski, post four) returns looking to repeat his victory in last year’s event. Finishing second in his last start to No Recess, who is bypassing this race, Hyway Marcus is coming into the race with a rare two-race losing streak. Atout De Fontaine (post one) appears to be the main challenger, having finished third in his first North American start and picks up rider Maria Buchanan for trainer Sofia Zingale, who will be riding stablemate Egosnattitudes (post three) in his first start. Other starters in the race will be Puddin N Pie (Stephanie Jacobs, post two) who finished fifth in his first start, and the lone mare My True Friend (Hillary Hartnett, post five).

There will be a meet and greet before and after the race. Race fans will be able to talk to the riders and ask any questions they may have about racing under saddle. Post time for the first race is 6:40 p.m.
