More than halfway through 2017, trainer Brian Brown is having a dream season. Not only does he condition two of the top 3-year-old pacing colts in the sport in Fear The Dragon and Downbytheseaside, but he also trains the nearly unbeaten Blazin Britches. While Brown will be at Yonkers Raceway preparing Downbytheseaside for the $500,000 Messenger Pace on Saturday, his barn will be sending out 10 contenders during Ohio Night of Champions at Scioto Downs. Eight $250,000 Finals for 2- and 3-year-olds of both gaits and sexes are on tap as part of a special $7,500 guaranteed pick eight wager. Brown’s top entrant on the card is in the 2-year-old filly pace, race 5 on the program. He’ll send out the unbeaten Prsntpretynperfect, a daughter of Big Bad John, from post three with Kayne Kauffman in the bike. [DRF HARNESS LIVE: Watch the Ohio Sire Stakes Championships and get real-time insights this Saturday.] “She’s been unbelievable,” said Brown. “We bought her for $6,000 as a family horse. Jenny (his wife) was actually bidding and I didn’t even know it. We were going to race her at the fairs and she turned out to be a lot better than we expected.” Prsntpretynperfect was rolling along with four straight wins prior to her most recent start at Northfield Park. She made a break before the start and was 10 lengths back at the quarter but was able to sweep past the field to win convincingly by 3-1/4 lengths. “She had the rail on a muddy track and I think she just got a bit too excited,” said Brown about the miscue. “Front end speed wasn’t holding up that night and maybe the break was a blessing. Perhaps if she would have been on the lead things wouldn’t have worked out.” Brown also sends out Shadows On Time from post five with Ronnie Wrenn Jr as an uncoupled stablemate. A full sister to millionaire Shadow Play, she has a different style of racing according to the trainer. “She’s more of a grinder but that leads to some tough trips,” said Brown. “It looked like she was going to win last week but she just got tired. If the trip works out she could be right there.” The night will kick off for Brown in race 4 with a trio of starters in the 2-year-old pacing colt championship. His top gun is Rock On Creek, but he drew the outside post eight with Chris Page listed to drive. After two straight wins, Rock On Creek was caught late by likely post time favorite Letsallrock in his last start. “He scoped sick pretty bad but he seems better today,” said Brown, who was also very impressed with the most recent performance from his other entrant, Slick Mick. That son of The Panderosa was a fast closing third behind Letsallrock despite starting from post eight last time out. “Letsallrock is a really nice horse, but Slick Mick was running him down late. I think he is in a good spot this week from post four,” said Brown. While Bye Bye Felicia looks competitive on paper for Brown in the 3-year-old filly pacing championship (Race 8), a bad post draw has the trainer concerned. “Post 9 kills her. She trained great today (Wednesday), but I have no idea what kind of trip she’ll get from that post,” said Brown. Chris Page has the driving assignment behind Bye Bye Felicia. The night will end at Scioto in terms of Sire Stakes with the 3-year-old pacing colt championship and while Brown has a quartet in the 9-horse field, the post position Gods weren’t very kind to him. His group drew posts five, seven, eight and nine in the field and he ranked Lightning Onmyfeet as the best of the bunch by a narrow margin. “He’s coming in really good,” said Brown about Lightning Onmyfeet. “He’s my best shot but Mcthriller is coming into the race really well, too. He could be a sleeper in there.” Brown also sends out Barnabas, who he admitted isn’t that sharp right now and Mcraven, who has been battling some ulcers recently. As well-represented as Brown is throughout the pacing finals, he doesn’t have any entrants in the four $250,000 trot finals. “It just evolved into people I trained for didn’t want trotters,” said Brown. “I wish I had more of them so I wouldn’t have to compete against myself so often.” Two undefeated 2-year-olds, Looking For Zelda and Sultan Of Cash, will take center stage in the filly (Race 2) and colt (Race 3) trotting finals, respectively. Looking For Zelda will start from post one for driver Tony Hall and trainer Norm Parker in the filly split while Sultan Of Cash has post three for the team of Roger Hughes Jr and driver Ronnie Wrenn in the boys division. Rose Run Sydney, a six-time winner in eight races, is the likely favorite in the 3-year-old filly trot, race 6 on the 15-race card. Trainer Christopher Beaver will be in the spotlight in the sophomore division for colts (Race 7) with a three-horse entry. Post time for the rich Scioto Saturday card is 6:30 p.m.
