Track Record For Ocean Rock In OHSS
Sophomore pacing colt Ocean Rock put forth a sharp performance for his competition in the second of two divisions for the Ohio Sires Stakes (OHSS) at Scioto Downs on Saturday (July 18).
The second OHSS division saw Ocean Rock devastate the Scioto Downs track record with a 1:48.4 performance for driver Danny Noble. The son of Rockin Amadeus broke the record set in 2000 by Gallo Blue Chip (Dan Dube) of 1:50.
