$75,000 OSS no problem for Gabbys C Note

Columbus, Ohio – Gabbys C Note (Triumphant Caviar) established her dominance in the $75,000 Ohio Sires Stakes leg for 3-year-old filly harness racing trotters on Friday (Aug 26) at Eldorado Scioto Downs.

Leaving from post four, 3-5 favorite Gabbys C Note had her eyes on the prize from the start. Driven by Aaron Merriman, the filly refused to be put into a pocket by 9-5 second choice, Criquette Hall.

Gabbys C Note gained control of the field around the first turn and never looked back, posting fractions in :27.1, :57.1., and 1:26.3, before cruising across the finish in 1:55.1. Criquette Hall (Chris Page) was second with Kirsi Dream (Chris Lems) in third.

With $153,750 in the bank, Gabbys C Note has tallied seven victories in nine seasonal starts. The sophomore has won two of three Ohio Sires Stakes legs this year. She was scratched sick from the second leg in June.

GABBYS C NOTE REPLAY

Gabbys C Note’s dominance is not unique to 2022. Just last year, she was named Ohio’s 2-Year-Old Filly Trotter of the Year for trainer Chris Beaver. Her freshman victories included the Ohio State Fair as well as the $300,000 Ohio Sires Stake Championship. The filly is now only $3,100 shy of surpassing $400,000 in lifetime earnings. Gabbys C Note is owned in partnership by her conditioner alongside Johanna Beaver and Steven Zeehandler.
