17-1 upset winner in $150,000 Ohio Sire Stakes

Grove City, OH – Freshmen trotting fillies spared no expense when bringing the harness racing action to MGM Northfield Park for the second leg of the Ohio Sire Stakes. Three $50,000 divisions went forth with only one repeat winner.

At 17-1, Dream Something (Uncle Peter) set the stage by winning the first division in 1:58.3. Out of the gate, Chris Lems gave the filly the perfect pocket trip. Dream Something never faltered along the rail, even as 1-5 favorite Rose Run Allison (Chris Page) pulled first over from behind to battle on the front.

It wasn’t until the final turn that Dream Something found racing room and opened up. Digging in until her final stride, Dream Something nipped Rose Run Allison at the wire. The Miles Wollam trainee is owned by Julie Ann Sweet, Wollam, and Dale Sweet.

Rose Run Allison held on for second while Freedom Hill (Anthony Macdonald) finished third.

MOCHA HILL REPLAY

Chrome Trim (Long Tom) and Elliott Deaton produced another mild upset in the final division. At 8-1, the filly left alertly from the fifth post position. After a miscue from the early leader, Chrome Trim briefly found herself on the front before settling into the pocket behind 1-5 favorite Brink Street (Page). Deaton stayed patient, asking Chrome Trim for more only at the top of the stretch.

The filly answered the call with an impressive final quarter before tripping the wire in 2:00.1. The victory marks the first lifetime win for Chrome Trim. Isaiah Shrake trains and co-owns the freshman alongside Terrie Shrake.
