The $30,000 Nobleland Sam final was won by Odds On Capitalism in 1:51.2 on Saturday (June 4) at Eldorado Scioto Downs.

The gelded son of Fear The Dragon took the early lead in :28.2 and then let Robins Art take over just before the :56.3 half. Odds On Capitalism stayed in the pocket while Art of Revenge challenged to the outside throughout the 1:23.2 three-quarters. At the top of the stretch, driver Brett Miller angled Odds On Capitalism to the outside and won by a quarter length over Robins Art. Rock The Dragon got up for third.

Odds On Capitalism is out of the Allamerican Ingot mare Soggy Britches. He has won four out of his last five starts, including a sweep of the series legs for over $43,000 in seasonal earnings for owner Odds on Racing of Boca Raton, Fla. Virgil Morgan Jr. trains the winner.

The Nobleland Sam Series was for three-year-old colt pacers who are eligible to the Buckeye Stallion Series and did not start in the first leg of the Ohio Sires Stakes.

Five of the top spots in the two divisions of the Ohio Sires Stakes (OHSS) second leg for three-year-old pacing fillies at Eldorado Scioto Downs were all sired by Downbytheseaside with Do It Like Bobbi and Sea Silk picking up victories. Each division went for a purse of $55,000.

In the first division, Prancing Queen with Brett Miller grabbed the lead at the quarter pole in :26.1 and set the pace through the first half in :55.1. Tony Hall pulled Do It Like Bobbi just past the half and set their sights on the leader heading down the back stretch. Do It Like Bobbi grabbed the lead around the final turn and held off the hard charging favorite, Cape Cod Hanover with Chris Page, to win by three-quarters of a length. Prancing Queen finished third.

Do It Like Bobbi tripped the wire in a lifetime mark of 1:50.2, just a fifth of a second off the track record.

Trained by David Elliott and owned by Stephen Sexton, Do It Like Bobbi won for the third time in four starts this year. She had now won 10 of 15 starts and pushed her earnings to $73,154.

In the second division, 1-9 favourite Sea Silk with Chris Page in the bike sat patiently through the first three quarters and then went three wide in the final turn, firing down the lane to win going away in 1:51.3.

At the start, Secret Side Piece with Cam McCown and Dragons Revenge and Dan Noble raced to the first quarter pole in :27. Dragons Revenge took the lead and hit the half in :55.2 with Secret Side Piece second, Bittrsweetsymphony and Tyler Smith were third with Sea Silk sitting fourth.

Up the backstretch, Sea Silk followed the cover of Bittrsweetsymphony as they closed the gap on the leader Dragons Revenge, who hit the three-quarter pole in 1:23.3. Rounding the final turn, Page swung Sea Silk to the outside charged down the stretch and pulled away to win for the second time this year. Secret Side Piece finished second with Bittrsweetsymphony, the daughter of Well Said, finishing third and spoiling the Downbytheseaside sweep.

Sea Silk is trained by Ron Burke and owned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Knox Services, and Hatfield Stable. Sea Silk has won 11 of 13 her lifetime starts and has earned $639,092.

Ohio Sires Stakes action resumes next Saturday (June 11) at MGM Northfield Park when the three-year-old pacing colts take the track for the second leg.
