The Bethinator noses out Miss You N in Dayton's Mares Open
The Bethinator (Tyler Smith) stretched her win streak to three by stepping up into open company for the first time and snapping the six race win streak of Miss You N (Jeremy Smith).
The outcome of the Mares Open at Dayton on Friday (Dec, 4) wasn't decided until the wire was reached in 1:51.2 and the photo finish camera determined The Bethinator had won by a nose.
Both top fillies left the gate with alacrity. The Bethinator got to the top an eighth of a mile into the fray, with Miss You N in hot pursuit until finally grabbing the lead just before the :27 first quarter timer was tripped. Th... more...

Gingras wins 6 Friday in Philly
Driver Yannick Gingras was the star of a cool and dank day at Harrah’s Philadelphia Friday, piloting six winners, including a “grand slam” of a sweep of the four $11,200 feature races, two on each gait.
In the first of the trots, Gingras positioned the Kadabra sophomore filly Kombucha right behind pacesetter Alyvia Deo, then moved out to challenge on the turn and got by for a length victory in 1:58.2 over the sloppy track. After several near-misses in the shadow of New York City, Kombucha found the Philly winners circle in her first start here for trainer Scott Di Domenico and the ownership of B... more...

Rock Candy holds on in Meadows feature
Hammered down to 2-5, Rock Candy justified bettors’ faith when he retook the lead at the quarter and had just enough late to capture Friday’s feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 Conditioned Pace.
Rock Candy easily thwarted the backside challengers but still had to deal with the stretch threat from the pocket-sitting Cocosfella A. The 4-year-old Pet Rock-Cotton Candy gelding had just enough to down Cocosfella A by a neck for Brady Brown in 1:51.2. Crusades rallied for show.
Paul Corey trains Rock Candy, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $421,933, for Kenneth Ashba.

Dex-betamethasone study presentation
In a presentation made by Dr. Clara Fenger at the Association of Racing Commissioners International Model Rules Committee Meeting in New Orleans, La., on Thursday (Dec. 3), she described some unexpectedly high serum concentration levels found in experimental horses that were demonstrated to be caused by environmental contamination in the study she submitted as part of her proposal.
As a result, Dr. Fenger, on behalf of the North American Association of Racetrack Veterinarians, who is the sponsor of the proposal, called for “alternative penalties for drug positives that are likely to result from envi... more...

Career year for Hunter Myers in 2020
Hunter Myers figured he was unlikely to realize his harness racing goals this season when the calendar turned to June. The sport had been shutdown for two months because of the coronavirus pandemic, and the first night racing returned to MGM Northfield Park in late May, Myers was involved in an accident that sidelined him for an additional three weeks.
Yet despite the obstacles, the 22-year-old Ohio resident did accomplish his goals, primarily improving upon his previous season’s stats. Myers has set career highs this year for starts (1,772), wins (189), and purses ($1.39 million). He ranks sixth in... more...

Nancy Takter Trainer of the Year
Nancy Takter was voted 2020 Trainer of the Year by the United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA) – and her year was so spectacular, the decision to have her receive the award did not even have to go to a vote. How? There are twelve chapters in USHWA and an At-Large gathering – and Nancy was nominated for top trainer by all 13 of these groups, meaning that the award was decided at the end of the nomination process – there literally were no other candidates brought forth by the communicators.
With over $8 million won by her trainees, 31% victories and a UTR of .442, the horses in Nancy’s... more...
