Delaware County Fair: Rose Run Xtra, Guido Di take OBC splits

Trainer Ron Burke and driver Chris Page continued their hot streaks by winning the second of two $120,000 (div.) Ohio Breeders Championship splits for 2-year-old colt and gelding trotters with Rose Run Xtra in Tuesday action at the Delaware County Fair.

Rose Run Xtra defended his rail starting position and held off a late challenge of stablemate Unhitched (Dan Noble) to win by 2 1 2/ lengths in 2:01 over the track rated as 'good.'

The Cash Hall colt has finished on the board in all ten seasonal starts and has now earned $180,075 for Burke Racing Stable, Hatfield Stables, Knox Services, and Jason Melillo.
