The second leg of the 2021 Buckeye Stallion Series for three-year-old-filly pacers is scheduled for Sunday Night MGM Northfield Park. Thirty-nine filly pacers will go to the gate in five divisions, each with a purse of $17,500.
Three of the four winners from first leg action at Miami Valley on May 1 will compete in the second leg.
Two of the first leg winners will square off in the third division. Pompatuse Of Love (Mr Wiggles), a winner in two of her four starts this year, with a best effort of 1:53.2, will be reined by Aaron Merriman for trainer Kimberly Dailey. She will be matched up against Pal O Mine Hanover (Western Vintage) with Tony Hall for Terry Hall. Pal O Mine Hanover has a mark of 1:54.3 winning one time in eight starts this year.
Young and developing horses are in abundance in the Mid-Atlantic area, and Harrah’s Philadelphia had $12,600 quad-features for their various divisions on Friday.
Kiss The Captain won her second straight start – her previous one came on August 27 of last year – as she paced to a new mark of 1:51.4, with Andrew McCarthy gunning her through wild fractions of :26.1, :54.2, and 1:22, successfully bottoming out the field. Trained by Andrew Harris for A Harris Racing LLC and Martin Budkey, Kiss The Captain is a Captaintreacherous three-quarter sister to Kissme On the Beach – who still holds the world record she set almost five years ago for this winner’s division, three-year-old pacing fillies on a 5/8-mile oval.
