Janet Davis’s Oops All Berries captured the $116,750 Virginia Breeders Fund 2-Year-Old Filly Pace at Shenandoah Downs Saturday (Oct. 31) and shattered the prior speed mark for that division by two full seconds. The Captain Crunch filly authored quarter panels of :28, :57.1 and 1:25.3 before crossing in 1:54.1 with Eric Davis in the sulky. She won her fourth straight race and is six-for-nine overall now with a pair of second place finishes for owner Ramona Gillespie. Jason Skinner’s Denim N Pearls finished second and Hagerman Racing’s All That Rusty was third.

Lou’s Starr sets all-time Shenandoah Downs pacing mark
Dan Chansky’s Lou’s Starr triggered his second track record of the week — at two different ovals — when he wired the field in a $10,000 conditioned pace Saturday (Sept. 26) at Shenandoah Downs in 1:51.1, the fastest mile ever recorded at the Woodstock half-miler. The 4-year-old Sweet Lou horse shattered the previous best — which he authored last fall — by three-fifths of a second. The winner, who recorded quarter fractions of :27, :55.4 and 1:23.1, is trained by Scott Warnick and was driven by Corey Braden.
