Columbus, OH — During a special Memorial Day card, three $30,000 finals were held at Eldorado Scioto Downs for Buckeye Stallion Series eligible horses who did not start in the first leg of the Ohio Sires Stakes.

First up was the Overcomer for horse and gelding trotters.

Tom Swifty and Dan Noble left from the six hole and went straight to the top. They hit the finish in 1:55.2, 2-1/4 lengths ahead of their next rival after opening quarters of :28.1, :56.4 and 1:25.4. Smokeitsteady (Chris Page) finished second with Gypsy Hill (Anthony MacDonald) third.

Tom Swifty is trained by Christi Noble for owner/breeder Sandra Burnett and Norman Rae Racing. After winning the first leg of the Buckeye Stallion Series, Tom Swifty finished first and third in the two legs of the Overcomer series. He now has three wins in six starts on the year and $73,261 in lifetime earnings. Monday’s win was a new lifetime mark for the 3-year-old gelded son of Long Tom-Evanora.

Lady Bridgerton (Jeremy Smith) led the field to a :27.1 opening quarter while Bad Girls Racing was parked leaving from post position five. Settling in for about an eighth of a mile, Bad Girls Racing was quickly back out and had her neck in front by the :55.2 half. After tripping the beam in 1:22.4 for the three-quarters, the Ron Potter trainee won by a length over a fast closing Naked On A Hill (Sam Widger) who came from tenth at the three-quarters, while Rose Run Zoey (Tyler Smith) finished third.

This was the first win of the year for Bad Girls Racing, who was bred by Spring Haven Farm and is owned by Gail Potter. After finishing fourth in both legs of the series, the Racing Hill-Bad Girls Club filly now has $43,813 in lifetime earnings.

What An Ocean View won the Nobleland Sam for horse and gelding pacers in 1:52.2.

Page and the Ron Burke trainee got the pocket trip from the seven hole through fractions of :26.3, :56 and 1:23.4 behind Dancin Moon (Jeremy Smith). The Downbytheseaside-Graceful Vision gelding popped out of the two hole coming out of the last turn to win by 2-1/4 lengths over Rainrock (Trevor Smith) and Dancin Moon.

Bred by LMN Bred Stables, What An Ocean View is owned by Burke Racing Stable, Knox Services, R A S Racing and J&T Silva-Purnel & Libby. After finishing third in the opening leg of the series, What An Ocean View had broken equipment in the second leg. Monday’s win was his second of the year and fourth lifetime in 13 starts. He now has $53,165 in career earnings.
