Delaware County Fair: Stakes records matched in Ohio Breeders Championships

Rose Run Zoey (Tyler Smith) cruised to the win in the $137,460 Ohio Breeders Championship for 2-year-old filly pacers in a stakes and track record-equaling 1:52 2/5 in Sunday (September 17) action at the Delaware County Fair.

When the wings of the starting gate opened, Rose Run Zoey protected her rail position and rebuffed a challenge by Daisy's Star (Sam Widger) to go gate-to-wire. The pocket-sitting Flyin Bullets (Brett Miller) was second and a late-charging Seaside Diva (Chris Page) was third.

The daughter of Lather Up is owned by Miller Racing Stable and Let It Ride Stable and trained by Ryan Miller. Her career earnings are $570 shy of the $200,000 mark.

Sectionline Bigry (Chris Page) took the $34,400 Ohio Breeders Championship for Aged Pacers in a stakes record-equaling 1:49 4/5.

The hometown Sectionline Bigry (Chris Page) sat patiently in third and watched the dueling leaders – Cyclone Union Jack (Dan Noble) and Gold Digger King (Tyler Smith) – through the first three-quarters in 1:22 2/5. Page went three-wide with the eventual winner in the final turn and drew away to match the mark set last year by Charlie May.

With the first-place check of $17,200, the 8-year-old gelded son of Pet Rock’s career earnings went over the $1 million mark. The winning owner is Delaware's Harold Lee Bauder. He is trained by Steve Bauder.
