Grove City, Ohio – Clever Cody (The Panderosa) hit the harness racing board in nine of his ten starts in 2023, winning six including the Ohio Sires Stakes Scarlet Championship, on the way to being named the Ohio 2-Year-Old Pacing Colt of the Year.

In addition to winning the Sires Stakes Championship, he won three legs of the Ohio Sires Stakes and the Ohio State Fair Stakes as he earned $383,372 in 2023.

Trained by Dr. Ian Moore and owned by the Clever Cody Stable, Clever Cody was bred by Marvin Raber.

Moore said Clever Cody had a lot of class as a two-year-old. “He was such a pleasure to train. He was fantastic for us and the classiest of our two-year-olds. I am looking forward to training him back in 2024.”

Clever Cody will be honored at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Annual Awards Banquet on January 13, 2024, at the Mariott Columbus OSU in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets to the banquet are $30 each and can be purchased by calling the OHHA office at 614-221-3650.
