Delaware County Fair: Tsunami Seas washes away foes in Ohio Breeders Championship

The leading driver, David Miller, and the leading trainer, Virgil Morgan Jr., in the history of the Delaware County Fair teamed up to take Thursday's first division of the $132,200 (div.) Ohio Breeders Championship for 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers with Tsunami Seas.

Miller sat patiently as Caillou Hanover (Atlee Bender) and Skull N Crossbones (Chris Page) battled for early control. Tsunami Seas used the cover of Skull N Crossbones around the final turn and swept past a tiring Caillou Hnaover to score a 1 3/4 length win over stablemate Odds On Rpj (Luke Hanners) and Crocodile Station (Dexter Dunn) in 1:52 2/5.

The gelded son of Downbytheseaside is owned by Jeffrey Rector, Larry Wills and Hutchison Harness. Tsunami Seas now has a three-race win streak and $313,757 in his bank account.
