The Word Is Out about dominant OSS win

Grove City, Ohio – News is spreading fast about the dominant harness racing performance from The Word Is Out (Well Said) in the Ohio Sires Stakes action for two-year-old filly pacers on Sunday night (Sep. 1) at MGM Northfield Park.

The Word Is Out defeated the perfect Odds On Hieleah with lengths to spare in the sole $100,000 division.

Directly out of the gate, driver Chris Page urged The Word Is Out to challenge for the front. The daughter of Well Said found herself two-wide the entirety of the :28. opening quarter.

The brisk quarter only energized The Word Is Out. Once in control of the field, she set remaining fractions in :57.1 and 1:26. Despite heavy pressure from challengers, The Word Is Out dug deep, winning by two lengths in 1:53.4.

Odds On Hieleah (Brett Miller) finished second while Skywalker Sea (Justin Irvine) was third.
