Workin Ona Mystery looking for a #Senditin Invitational three-peat

Columbus, Ohio – On Friday (Aug. 19), Workin Ona Mystery (Captaintreacherous) will look to become the first three-time harness racing winner of the $100,000 #Senditin Invitational at Eldorado Scioto Downs.

Workin Ona Mystery will leave from post four as the 5-2 morning line favorite with David Miller behind the lines. The 6-year-old has hit the board eight times in 12 seasonal starts. With four wins in 2022, Workin Ona Mystery is the field’s newest millionaire with $1,040,431 in the bank. Just last week the Ron Burke trainee finished third in the $315,000 Dan Patch Stakes behind Bulldog Hanover.

Workin Ona Mystery’s previous #Senditin victories came back-to-back in 2020 and 2021 for co-owners Burke Racing Stable, Milton Leeman, Alan Keith, and the Wingfield Brothers.

In post seven, Charlie May (McArdle) is the 9-2 second choice. The 4-year-old gelding is following last week’s Myron Charna President’s Pace victory in 1:49.3. Brett Miller will remain in the sulky. Steve Carter conditions the World Champion for Don Tiger.

With $1.3 million in career earnings, Charlie May has tallied 21 wins in only 41 lifetime starts. He ties for the field’s fastest lifetime mark of 1:47.1 alongside Tattoo Artist, the 5-1 third choice.
