Smothastenesewisky looks to continue winning ways

Northfield, OH — An Ohio Sires Stakes champion at three, Smothastenesewisky will look to continue her recent success in Saturday’s (Jan. 28) $18,000 Filly and Mare Open at MGM Northfield Park.

Smothastenesewisky has given Brian and MacKenzie Haynes the ride of a lifetime, and she has shown no signs of slowing down, winning two of her first three starts in 2023.

The daughter of Nob Hill High won eight of her nine starts at two, including a $60,000 Buckeye Stallion Series championship.

While she won the $300,000 Ohio Sires Stakes championship in September of her 3-year-old season, her most impressive victory that year came at the historic Red Mile, where she went a monumental 1:48.4 mile in a Filly and Mare Open.

She enters Saturday’s $18,000 Filly and Mare Open on a two-race win streak against conditioned company. An earner of $417,245, Smothastenesewisky has won 22 of 58 starts. Luke Hanners will drive.

The Hayneses are extremely happy with how their champion has kicked off the year and look forward to seeing what she can do against foes on Saturday.

“She came back strong this year and ready to fight,” said MacKenzie, whose husband, Brian, trains the now 5-year-old mare. “We couldn’t be happier; she’s one of a kind and, as our family calls her, a shot of a lifetime. We’re going into the Open feeling confident and ready.”

Smothastenesewisky will lead Diamondtequilashot (driven by Eric Tharps Jr.), Rock Me Cristal (Ryan Stahl), Mystical Virgin (Kurt Sugg), Blue Ivy (Aaron Merriman), Kat (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.), Harper (Tyler Smith), Slick Artist A (Chris Lems) and Ellegator (Billy Davis Jr).

Saturday’s 15-race program also features a $10,000 guaranteed 20-cent Super Hi-5, offered in conjunction with the USTA’s Strategic Wagering Program. Past performances can be found by clicking here. First post on Saturday is 6 p.m.
