Delaware County Fair: Looksgoodinaromper completes Ohio Triple Crown

Looksgoodinaromper established a new stakes record in winning the first $64,700 division of the Ohio Breeders Championship for 2-year-filly pacers in Sunday action at the Delaware County Fair.

The Pet Rock filly yielded the early lead to Corner Pocket (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.), but Looksgoodinaromper retook the lead before the quarter, which went on the board in 29 seconds. Driver Chris Page was able to set a comfortable pace through the half in 58 2/5 and three-quarters in 1:26.

Artful Dancer (Brett Miller) was the first to challenge, but the eventual winner used a 27 3/5 last quarter to sprint clear and win in 1:53 3/5. Corner Pocket held on for second, and Artful Dancer was third.

Looksgoodinaromper, who completed the “Ohio Triple Crown” with her win today joining earlier victories in the Ohio State Fair and Ohio Sire Stake final, is owned by Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi.

In the second $64,700 division, PJ’s Legacy (Ryan Stahl) edged the pace-setting Beautiful Beach (Wrenn Jr.) by a scant nose in 1:54 3/5. PJ’s Legacy won for the fourth time in seven seasonal starts for Jennifer Brown, Hutchison Harness, Joelyn Ridder, and Mark Kantrowitz. The Big Bad John filly, who was a $37,000 yearling purchase, is conditioned by Brian Brown.

In the $12,900 OBC for aged pacers, a pair of Nick Surick trained geldings battled down the lane, but Dragonology (Miller) edged stablemate Born To Be Bad (Page) in a stakes record-equaling 1:51 4/5. Dynasty Racing is the owner of the victorious Dragon Again 4-year-old.

Driver Chris Page won six races on the 17-race card.
