In the 3-year-old filly trot division, Beaver has the fifth, sixth and seventh top point earners in Red Storm (1:55.4); California Love (1:56.2) and Sesame.

This New Jersey-based conditioner's Wittyville—who won leg three in 1:56.2—is the sixth-highest point earner in the 2-year-old colt trot division, while Rose Run Uptowngal is eighth in the 2-year-old filly pace class. Burke's charges Seeing Eye Single and Rockin Motion (1:51.1) are fourth and eighth respectively in points in the 3-year-old colt pace division, while Baron Remy (1:52) is fourth in points earned in the 3-year-old filly pace class and Impinktoo is fourth in the 3-year-old filly trot ranks.
Urbana-based conditioner Kimberly Dailey harnessed 32 starters in OSS events this season, with seven wins, two seconds and six thirds, for $204,500 in earnings. Her top charge is the 2-year-old colt pacer Rose Run Ulysses, tied for first place in his division with Brown's High On Paydaze, and a winner of three OSS legs in 1:52.2, 1:54.1 and 1:52.
