Janet Davis's Oops All Berries captured the $116,750 Virginia Breeders Fund 2-Year-Old Filly Pace at Shenandoah Downs Saturday and shattered the prior speed mark for that division by two full seconds. The Captain Crunch filly authored quarter panels of 28, 57 1/5 and 1:25 3/5 before crossing the wire in 1:54 1/5 with Eric Davis in the sulky. She won her fourth straight race and is six-for-nine overall now with a pair of second-place finishes for owner Ramona Gillespie. Jason Skinner's Denim N Pearls finished second and Hagerman Racing's All That Rusty was third.
Kentucky Sire Stakes action returned to Cumberland Run on Sunday afternoon with $50,000 contests for each gait and sex of 4-year-olds.

Among the most notable were Hambletonian champ American Winner and Pennsylvania Horse of the Year Winning Mister. When Key passed away in 2021 at 87 after four decades in the business, his wife Patty took over the reins (okay, lines for you Standardbred purists) and changed that focus just a bit.
