Delaware County Fair: Trotters compete in Ohio Breeders Championships

Ohio Breeders Championship events for 2-year-old filly trotters, aged trotters, and 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters took place on the undercard of the Jugette on Wednesday afternoon at the Delaware County Fair.

Two-year-old filly trot

Guinevere Hall (Peter Wrenn) sat back and watched Delovely Hall (Aaron Merriman) and Lights Down Low (Yannick Gingras) battle through the majority of the race and swooped past the tiring leaders to capture the first division in 1:56 4/5. Lights Down Low held on for second, Can’t Break Rosie (Chris Page) rallied for third, and Delovely Hall completed the superfecta.

Guinevere Hall is conditioned by Melanie Wrenn for M T Pockets Stable and David McDuffee. Alan Leavitt bred the Cash Hall filly.

The $55,850 second division was greatly impacted by breaking trotters. The 3-5 bettor’s choice, Globetrotting (Anthony MacDonald) broke at the start, giving the lead to the 3-2 second choice, Uncle Peters Love (Brett Miller). Uncle Peters Love led the field into the final turn until she took a bad step and went off-stride.

Aqua Lillies (Yannick Gingras) pounced on the opportunity and sprinted past Lima Gold (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) in 1:58 3/5. Norm Parker trains the Break The Bank K filly for breeder/owner Robert J. Key.

Aged trot

The $14,600 event was decided in the first sixteenth of a mile as A TC Queenie grabbed the lead from post position five and never looked back to defeat the field of 10 in a stakes record 1:53 2/5.

The 6-year-old Triumphant Caviar mare is owned by Trish Soulsby and Richard Schaut and trained by Ron Steck. A TC Queenie is just a few dollars short of $400,000 in career earnings. She became a three-time OBC champion with the win.

Three-year-old colt and gelding trot

Voyage To Paris (Dan Noble) survived a long battle with Lane Of Stone (Jeff Nisonger) through sizzling opening fractions and held off late rally from Bully Boy (Aaron Merriman) to win in a track and stakes record 1:53 2/5. Voyage To Paris scored for the seventh time in 2019 for Stephen Richard and Lana Jo Pollock. Jim Pollock Jr. trains the Dontyouforgetit gelding.

Dexter Dunn guided Homer Hall to a then-stakes record victory in the opening division of the three-year-old colt and gelding trot in 1:53 4/5. Homer Hall has 11 seasonal wins in 20 starts and has earned $223,667 during his career. The Cash Hall gelding is owned by Tammy Carter, Jay Mossbarger, Cass Gallagher, and Breana Carsey and is trained by Steve Carter.
