Trevor Smith guided Rose Run Vision to a mild 1:52.3 upset in the $30,000 Mares Open Pace at Miami Valley on Tuesday (Jan. 18), a day which also saw 18-year-old Clayton Pfeifer win his first race at a commercial track.
The final pair of Claim To Fame finals were contested at Miami Valley on Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 26), wrapping the popular series that was divided into nine different claiming classes and doled out over a half-million dollars in purses. In the split for $12,500 claiming mares, Persistant Xample overcame the outermost post position draw and sailed gate to wire in 1:56 over a damp track that was at least two seconds off. Driver Brett Miller launched the Virgil Morgan Jr. trainee and never looked back after reaching the top just past the :28.2 opening panel. Pressing forward through middle fractions of :56.4 and 1:25.3, the five-year-old Bettors Delight daughter held the competition off in the lane for a 1:56 score. Bellini Seelster tried gallantly to catch Persistant Xample, but ultimately had to settle for second. Glenferrie Bronte N, a winner of two straight preliminary legs, garnered the show dough in the $20,000 event.
