Hollywood Dayton: Noble doubles in Ohio Sires Stakes Championships for aged horses

Veteran Ohio-sired pacers and trotters of both genders proved fast and furious on a chilly October 16 evening at Hollywood Gaming Dayton Raceway, sparing in a quartet of $85,000 Ohio Sires Stakes Championships.

Weslynn Quest (5-1) forget past 1-9 stablemate Pure Chance in the Mares Trot Championship, winning in 1:54. Dan Noble drove the 4-year-old Manofmanymissions mare for trainer Chris Beaver and owner Derek Ivany. Longshot (35-1) Heidi's Heart was third for Josh Sutton. The victory, the 11th of her career in 32 starts, pushed Weslynn Quest's career earnings to $245,341.

Talkaboutaqueen (5-2) used a first-over move to take command going to three-quarters and never looked back in the Mares Pace Championship, scoring for driver Brett Miller. The 5-year-old mare by Oaks Enforcer is trained by Jayme Laing for Rod Allums Jr., and now has $165,203 in her career coffers.

The 5-year-old altered son of Dejarmbro upped his lifetime bankroll to $432,459 for owner Lionel Ray Watiker as he made his 23rd trip into the winner's circle. Lane Of Stone (9-5) was second, a length and a half back for Jeff Nisonger, while 2-1 Jailhouse Sam was third for Sandy Beatty.
