Pasta Momma cooks up win at Rosecroft

Closing from eighth last week, Pasta Momma (Huntsville) simply had too far to come to catch Talk Show Chica in last week’s harness racing Mares Open at Rosecroft.

Tuesday night (Oct. 31), Jonathan Roberts put the three-year-old filly on the front and she did now let him down, winning in 1:52.4 setting a new lifetime mark in her ninth win of 2023. Michael Hall trains the filly for Manklin Creek LLC. She had now been on the board in 19 of 23 starts on the year. It was one of three wins for Hall and two wins for Roberts on the night.
