She’safirewoman named Ohio 2-Year-Old Pacing Filly of the Year

Grove City, Ohio – The Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association has selected She’safirewoman as the 2025 Ohio 2-Year-Old Pacing Filly of the Year.

The daughter of Catch The Fire out of Shesasmokinlady hit the board in all 10 starts in 2025 with eight harness racing wins and two runner-up finishes to go with $246,576 in earnings for breeder and owner Harry Horowitz.

Trained by Mark Winters and driven primarily by Luke Hanners, She’safirewoman posted victories in all five legs of the Ohio Sires Stakes, recording a lifetime mark of 1:51.4 in the second leg at Eldorado Scioto Downs on July 25.

She capped the season with a second-place finish in the $300,000 Ohio Sires Stakes Scarlet Championship.

“She’s a great horse, and it’s been a pleasure to own her,” Horowitz said.

“This is a great honor, and I would also like to congratulate Mark Winters, Luke Hanners, and Scott Hagemeyer.”

She’safirewoman will be honored at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Annual Awards Banquet on Jan. 10, 2026, at the Renaissance Columbus-Westerville in Westerville, Ohio. Seats are sold out. The 2025 Ohio Horse of the Year will be announced at the awards banquet.
