DAYTON, OH. - Miss You N (Jeremy Smith) was her normal impressive self in Hollywood Dayton Raceway s top race on Friday (Dec. 11), the harness racing $16,100 Mares Open Pace.
Betterthancheddar s seventh visit to the winner s circle in her last eight starts.
The feature race was sandwiched by two other top condition events for distaff pacers and their results were even more eye-popping.
Miss You N assumed her usual spot in the front of the field during the :26.2 first quarter, then showed her heels to the field throughout the remainder of the 1:52.1 mile. The Bethinator (Tyler Smith), who ended Miss You N s win streak last week, closed from the back of the pack in the final quarter and finished second, with the aid of a placing against original runnerup Checks On The Way. It s Time For Fun (Kyle Wilfong) also benefitted from the placing to grab the show dough.

There s absolutely no doubt that the trotting mare Refined is in fine form. The daughter of Uncle Peter, despite being handicapped to the outside of a talented full field, swept to her third Open class victory in her last four starts in 1:52.4 on Thursday (Dec. 10) at Hollywood Dayton Raceway.
Sensing a torrid early pace, driver Brett Miller tucked Refined into the three-hole along the pylons halfway through the :26.1 opening panel. After just three-eighths of a mile, however, she was flushed back into the outer flow by Pass The Vape (Trevor Smith), and she responded by taking command just before the :56.1 halfway juncture. Following a :28 third quarter, Miller and Refined tacked on a :28.3 closing quarter to easily hold off Pass The Vape and third place finisher Whata Swan (Tyler Smith) in the day s $17,800 feature.
