Tu Tu Twain rolled down the track to a 1:54 score in the fastest mile of the evening on Friday at Scioto Downs. The 7-year-old pacing mare shot out of the pocket entering the stretch and posted a 1-1/2 length victory over Big City Hanover while pacesetting Noble Zena faded to third.
Tu Tu Twain was driven by Kayne Kauffman for trainer Chris McGuire and owner Huggybear Racing LLC of Ohio. In a dozen starts this season, she has three wins, three seconds, and three thirds. The mile was her fastest of the season.
In trotting action at Scioto, the sophomore gelding Rose Run Legend was a convincing 1:58.1 winner for Dan Noble, catch-driving for trainer Jim Dailey. The son of Trainforthefuture wrested control of the race from Wyatt and driver J.D. Wengerd in the third quarter and trotted away to a comfortable four-length win. Wyatt held second and Balance Spur was third.
Rose Run Legend is owned by Jerry Zosel, Kathy Ratcliff, and Kimberly Daily of Ohio.
The mile was a new lifetime mark for Rose Run Legend and it was his second win in 10 tries this season. (Scioto Downs)
