The Maryland Sire Stakes for two-year-olds were held Wednesday at Ocean Downs.

The filly harness racing trotters went to post as an early non wagering event prior to race one. Roger Plante Jr. sent Charlie’s Song (Charlie De Vie) gate to wire stopping the clock 2 ¼ lengths ahead of You’ll Never Be Me (Cam’s Rocket) in 2:09.1. Charlie’s Song is owned by LeBlanc Racing Inc, Glenn Dyke, Count De Money Stable and William Lutz Jr. Dyke is the breeder and Steve LeBlanc the trainer.

In the Maryland Sire Stakes for two-year-old pacing colts, reinsman John Wagner tucked Anthony’s All In (Rusty’s All In) the four hole until the 5/8, where the pair circled the field on their way to a  1 ½ length victory in 2:00.1 over Rapid Pulse (Quik Pulse Mindale) in the pacing colt and gelding division. Pam Wagner is the owner-breeder of Anthony’s All In.

Ocean Downs also hosted an exhibition Racing Under Saddle (RUS) event after the sixth race. Sofia Zingale aboard Pappy Go Go crossed the wire a half length ahead of Lionhead with Stephanie Jacobs in the saddle and coming in third was Slated To Win ridden by Maria Buchanan.

The winning time of 2:01.3 was a track record for a RUS event.
