Scioto: Long Tom fillies pull Ohio Sires Stakes upsets

Longshot daughters of Long Tom swept the two $75,000 divisions of the Ohio Sires Stakes for 3-year-old filly trotters, both setting new lifetime marks in the process. The races held Thursday (June 18) at Eldorado Scioto Downs were won by Mooter Tooter (1:54 2/5) and Charlotte Elise (1:55 2/5).

The first OHSS division had quite a bit of action getting off the gate and going to the 27 4/5 opening quarter as Joyofmylife AS (Tony Hall) made the early lead but quickly settled behind Rose Run Brooke (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.). Faster Horses (Jeremy Smith) put on the pressure from post nine and took over going into the second turn towards the 56 1/5 half. Mooter Tooter (Chris Page) was sitting fifth and flushed out the cover of Seven Lick Range (Tyler Smith) as the field went down the backside towards the 1:25 2/5 three-quarters. Tipping three-wide off the last turn, Mooter Tooter had the momentum to win by 2 3/4 lengths over Seven Lick Range and Rose Run Brooke was third.

Mooter Tooter went off at 27-1 and paid $56.40 to win. Ron Burke trains the daughter of Moots (by Andover Hall), who was a $28,000 Ohio Selected Yearling Sale purchase from breeder Wayne Weaver. Owned by Burke Racing, Knox Services, Beasty and R A S Racing, Mooter Tooter now has $72,350 earned in her 15 lifetime starts with three victories.

The other division went to Charlotte Elise (T. Smith) in 1:55 2/5. The race winner got away fifth as Speedbewithyou (Austin Hanners) got to the 28 4/5 opening quarter first. Setyoursightshigh (Mike Wilder) made the front shortly thereafter and led the field towards the 57 3/5 half as Charlotte Elise came first-up going into the second turn. Going toe-to-toe at the 1:26 4/5 three-quarters, Charlotte Elise and Setyoursightshigh put slight separation between themselves and the rest of the field. Coming down to the wire, Charlotte Elise out-sprinted the even-money race favorite, winning by a length and three-quarters. Guardian Doll (Ronnie Gillespie) was third.

Charlotte Elise set her new lifetime mark in winning just her second race in 11 lifetime starts. Trained by Micah Miller, Charlotte Elise has now earned $56,060 for owners Wayne Mast Jr., Callam Racing, Jeremy Miller and Joseph Mast. Out of the Cayenne Turbo mare Here's Jolene, Charlotte Elise was a $62,000 Ohio Selected Yearling Sale purchase from Albert Miller. Going off at 43-1, Charlotte Elise paid $88.00 to win.

Racing continues at Scioto Downs on Friday (June 19) with an 11-race card and Saturday (June 20) with 12 races.

The 91-day 2026 Eldorado Scioto Downs regular season runs through Saturday, September 19.
