A bottle of Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century Limited Tennessee Whiskey will set you back about $2,000. For another grand, you could have had Ohio’s Three-Year-Old Pacing Filly of the Year, Smothastenesewisky.

A $3,000 purchase at auction, the daughter of Nob Hill High has been life changing for trainer/owner Brian Haynes and his wife MacKenzie. Smothastenesewisky won seven of 19 starts including the $300,000 Ohio Sire Stakes final, earning $280,574 in 2021.

Haynes said this year has been breathtaking.

“Going into the year, we thought she could be competitive," he said. "Her personality is basic; she doesn’t need to be pampered, she just likes to do the work.”

Bred by Robert Mondillo and Donald Robinson, Smothastenesewisky has 15 career wins and earnings of $358,555.

Smothastenesewisky will be honoured at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Annual Awards Banquet on January 15, at the Hilton Columbus-Polaris in Columbus, Ohio.
