Workinitonbroadway Cops Top Trot
Workinitonbroadway (Chris Page) won the $22,500 Open Trot on a special make-up Wednesday (Feb. 17) program at Miami Valley Raceway.
The five-year-old son of Broadway Hall got the best of Weslynn Quest, Another Breath and seven other rivals in 1:54.4. The victory was the 17th for Workinitonbroadway, the Burke Racing-Weaver Bruscemi LLC-owned winner of just under $200,000.
Also featured on the program were championship legs of the R. J. Brown Memorial trotting series for non-winners of two races or $20,000 lifetime as well as the $15,000 final of the popular Survivor Series for pacing mares.
Howyadoinbub ran his win streak to three with an impressive 1:55.1 win from an outside post position. The four-year-old son of Dejarmbro has started 2021 with a bang after racing just once as a three-year-old. Trainer Bobbi Jo Brewer recently took over the training duties from co-owner Brian Georges, who became frustrated with the talented colt’s quirks and idiosyncrasies.
“When I give one to someone else to train, you know its one I don’t get along with,” quipped Georges. “I sure am glad Bobbi Jo doesn’t have the same problems and they are getting along great!”
Pick Me Upper was runner up while Circle Of Life As got the show dough in the lucrative $20,000 race.
Mary Catherine A dominated the distaff Survivor Series, winning both elimination heats and adding the final in 1:56.2. The nine-year-old Art Major mare is owned and trained by Tyler George and notched her 24th victory in her 100th start on Wednesday.
Rockin Peggy and Princess Oshie were next to cross the line.
Racing will resume on Friday (Feb. 19) at Miami Valley with the normal 4:05 p.m. (EST) weekend post time.
