On Thursday (Aug. 18) at Ocean Downs, the three year old Maryland Sire Stakes contested four non-wagering harness racing events.
Once again a Richard Hans owned, bred and trained Cam's Rocket trotter left the field in his dust in the colt/gelding trot. Speed It in his usual fashion went to the front and never looked back in the 2:01 for reinsman Jim Morand. Righteous Renegade was second.
The filly trotters were up next and Rock The Game (Cam's Rocket) with driver Frank Milby in the bike was able to maintain the almost 2 length lead over Star Rose at the finish in 2:02.4 for owners Breakaway Racing and breeder Nick Callahan.
Fastestgirlaround (Dontloseyourdayjob) gave driver Frank Milby his second stakes win, taking the filly pace over Mo Power. Anthony Sapienza trains for co-owners Brian Callahan and Gloria Kinnamon. Time for the mile was 2:00.2.
The final stake was for colt and gelding pacers. Driver/trainer Jeff Fout guided Steal N Go (Bonnie And Clyde) to the front and held that lead to the wire in 2:02.3 for owner and breeder Winbak Farm. What I Say Goes was up for place.
The second prelims for 2 year olds will be Sunday Aug 21 at Ocean Downs.
