Millionaire Custom Cantab picks up first win of year
Custom Cantab, a million-dollar winner and the only mare in a field of talented male trotters, captured the first open class event of the recently started Hollywood Dayton meet on Thursday afternoon.

That's Incredible, Mary Goodnight score at Plainridge
A pair of 4-year-old mares won co-featured $12,000 distaff paces at Plainridge Park on Thursday afternoon (Sept. 17), each employing a different strategy to get the job done.
First in a mid-level conditioned event, That’s Incredible (Drew Monti) drafted along fifth while Avery Seelster (John Nason) marshaled the group to the half in a quick :54.3. At that point Monti had That’s Incredible out and rolling on the outside as they made their way up the backside. Passing horses quickly, That’s Incredible drew alongside Avery Seelster in the last turn and took the lead at the head of the stretch. Unde... more...

Scirocco Rob takes Philly trot feature in 1:53.1
The Explosive Matter gelding Scirocco Rob, who last week lost to the first-over Arabella’s Cadet in a track record 1:52 for trotting mares at Harrah’s Philadelphia, this week became the irresistible grinding force, making two moves en route to a 1:53.1 victory in Thursday’s $14,400 top-level trot on an overcast day at the riverside oval.
Leaving from post six in a field of seven, Scirocco Rob tucked third early as Mississippi Storm pushed favored Southwind Avenger most of a :26.3 quarter before ceding the lead. The “Avenger” got a breather to the :56 half, but Scirocco Rob was out and rollin... more...
