A total of 43 fillies went behind the gate for the third leg of the Buckeye Stallion Series for two-year-old filly pacers on Tuesday at Eldorado Scioto Downs. Each of the five divisions carried a purse of $17,500.

Millies Rockin (Smith) went wire-to-wire in the third and fastest division of the Buckeye Stallion Series. The daughter of Pet Rock posted fractions in :28.1, :57.1, and 1:25.3 before crossing the finish in 1:54.3 for her first lifetime victory. Bay City Babe (Jason Beattie) was second while Roknatninetythree (Austin Hanners) completed the Trifecta.

Trained by Jimmy Lupton, Millies Rockin has hit the board five of her seven starts this season. She is owned by her conditioner alongside Angela Lupton.

At 26-1, Hill Of A Night (Hunter Myers) rocked the first division in 1:55. The daughter of Racing Hill sped out of the gate from post five to find a pocket trip behind Dancinbytheseaside. Hill Of A Night sat patiently until the Lightning Lane gave way. With an inside move up the stretch, the freshman tripped the wire in a new lifetime mark. The 3-2 favourite Chickaboo (Tyler Smith) finished second with Dancinbytheseaside (Kayne Kauffman) in third.

The win marks the second BSS leg victory for Hill Of A Night in four starts. Herman Hagerman trains and co-owns the filly alongside Charles Reeve.

Apple Martini (Mitch Cushing) also scored her first lifetime win in the second division. The Downbytheseaside filly settled in third after leaving from the rail. Apple Martini overtook the race leader in the final turn and stopped the clock in 1:55.2. Dotties Sea Shell (Brett Miller) rallied for second and Angel Hill (Luke Ebersole) was third.

Miles Wollam conditions and owns Apple Martini in partnership with Cool Cat Racing and Kara Bansberg.

Yankee Nudge (Myers) took the next division in 1:55.4. The filly tried to gain control of the field but ultimately settled for a trip behind Vintage Memories. The daughter of Yankee Cruiser popped the pocket in the final turn to easily march home in a new lifetime mark.  As the 3-1 favourite, Yankee Nudge bested Celebrate Me Home (Cushing) with A Perfect Gift (Shawn Barker II) in third.

Now with two BSS victories, Yankee Nudge has earned $18,775 in five seasonal starts for trainer Joseph Lucas. Lucas also co-owns the freshman with At The Wire Farms.

Sectionlineseaside (Miller) closed out the final division in 1:55. The 2-5 favourite followed cover headed to the half and quickly cleared the field. The daughter of Downbytheseaside was challenged by All Sass in the final turn but dug in to win by a length. All Sass (Josh Sutton) held on for second while LL Mystress (Cushing) finished third.

Sectionlineseaside has tallied two wins in five seasonal starts. Steve Carter trains Sectionline Seaside for Eric Good.
