Ocean Downs: Yall Beneath Me routs Maryland Sire Stakes foes again
Yall Beneath Me finished off a dominating run through the Maryland Sire Stakes for 2-year-old male trotters at Ocean Downs with another double-digit length victory in the $70,000 final on Wednesday night.
After winning his preliminary legs by 22 1/2 and 33 lengths, Yall Beneath Me (Russell Foster) was bet down to 1-9 tonight and didn't disappoint, opening up through fractions of 29 3/5, 59 2/5, and 1:29 2/5 on his way to a 1:58 4/5 win. He defeated Give Em More (Frank Milby) by 10 3/4 lengths, with Enough Already (Jonathan Roberts) third.
Richard Hans bred, owns, and trains Yall Beneath Me, a colt by his former superstar trotter Googoo Gaagaa. Yall Beneath Me has earned $53,650 to go with a perfect four-for-four record, and he paid $2.10 to win.
In a companion $70,000 Maryland Sire Stakes final for 2-year-old pacing fillies, Maizee Blue (Eddie Davis Jr.) cleared to the lead past the 58 3/5 half, kept command to the 1:27 2/5 three-quarters, and lasted to the wire, defeating Fire Me Up (Jared Moyer) by three-quarters of a length in 1:59 1/5. I'd Be Rich (Roberts) was the third-place finisher.
Maizee Blue, by Rusty's All In, is trained by Les Givens for owners/breeders Leslie Moore and Robert Weyforth. She has a record of 3-1-0 from four starts, and she has now pocketed $43,125. The 3-5 choice, she returned $3.20 to win.
