Driver Chris Page bagged a half-dozen winners on the 12-race program at Scioto Downs on Saturday night. The young native of Mt. Vernon, Ohio extended his lead in the drivers' race at the central Ohio oval. He also finished second twice and third once on the program. One of Page’s wins came in the featured pace when he drove Mach’s Tenor N (Mach Three) to a 1:53.2 score, winning by a length. The 4 year old sat just off the leaders throughout much of the mile, then zoomed to the front in the final quarter. Noble Cruiser finished second while Caramel Dumpling was third. The winner is trained by Virgil Morgan Jr. and owned by Joseph Muscara. Page took one division of the Billy Dart series with Nicole’s Dreamboat in 1:55.1 while Chip Noble drove Cruizin Bayou to victory in the other division with a 1:55.3 mile.
Also, Pedigree Snob, winner of last year’s Sweetheart and one of the top freshman pacing fillies of the season, won a qualifier on Saturday in 1:53.3.
Trained and driven by Sam “Chip” Noble, the daughter of Allamerican Native went to the front at the start and paced through fractions of :27.1, :56.3, and 1:25.2. Her winning margin was 27 1/2 lengths over Bosphorous Hanover (The Panderosa).
Last year Pedigree Snob won five of her nine starts and finished second three times. She took her 1:51.4 mark in winning the Sweetheart and finished the season with $384,571 in the bank. She is owned by breeder Steve Jones and David Scharf. (Scioto Downs)
