Three-year-old pacers were in action on Thursday, the final day of racing at the Crawford County Fairgrounds in Meadville, Pa. Two $5,101 divisions of the PA Sire Stake filly pace opened the day. Peak-And-Boom earned her first victory of the season with a 2:05.1 mile. Steve Schoeffel drove the filly, who had been winless in eight previous starts for trainer Hoye Rickert, who leases the Arturo filly along with Pauline Rickert.
Allamerican Swift won the second division in 2:04.1 for driver Winston Lineweaver in wire-to-wire fashion. The Real Artist filly pushed her season earnings near the $20,000 mark with her fourth win of the year for owner-trainer Bill Kreutzer.
In the sire stake colt pace, Schoeffel added two more driving victories. First, he catch-drove Sfumato to a 2:04.1 win for trainer Kreutzer, who co-ownd the Real Artist colt with William Wood. In the second split, Special Character scored in 2:02.4 with a last half of :59.2. Steve Schoeffel also trains the Shady Character gelding for owners Virginia Schoeffel, Kathy Schoeffel and Marian Schilling. For Special Character, it was win number 10 in 15 starts this season. The day's final two stakes were divisions of the 3YO Quaker Pace for state-owned or state-bred pacers. In the filly division, Pure Dixie was a 2:04.4 winner for driver Timmy Offutt. The Real Artist pacer is owned by Joe and Karen Offutt, and trained by Joe Offutt. The colt division was won by SB Quents Knight, who scored in 2:07. Robert Rougeaux picked up the winning catch-drive for owner-trainer Dave Brickell. (PHRC)
