Sent off the overwhelming 1-20 favourite, Brooksforreal made every pole a winning one en route to a 1:52.2 score in the $131,944 Maryland Sire Stakes championship for three-year-old male pacers, held on Wednesday, May 14 at Rosecroft Raceway, and extended his winning streak to 12 races in the act.

Jared Moyer pushed forward with Brooksforreal to clear Classic Cougar and William Carter upon entering the first turn and the Rustys For Real-Brooks Range gelding rattled off splits of :27.3, :55.4 and 1:23.3 before accelerating away from his seven foes on the far turn. Moyer Kept Brooksforreal to his task through the final sixteenth to maintain 2-3/4 lengths of clearance at the winning post over 50-1 shot Rustys Lancelot, who rallied up the open stretch for Eric Davis to eclipse Classic Cougar for second.

Brooksforreal, a 12-time winner with $$312,598 in earnings from 16 career starts, is trained by Stacey McLenaghan for Lucky Lilly Belle Stable. He paid $2.10 to win.

McLenaghan and Lucky Lilly Belle Stable also accounted for the winner of the $131,944 three-year-old male trot, as Swervingmervin and driver Fern Paquet Jr. inherited the lead in mid-stretch lead when leader Yall Keep Dreaming broke stride. The Il Mago-Tipsy Tiara ridgling, now a three-time winner from 15 starts with $193,572 in earnings, won going away by 3-1/4 lengths in 1:56.1.

In the $131,944 three-year-old filly trot, Scott Woogen's K J The Thirteenth headed on the far turn by Yall Know Me, only to battle back to spring an 18-1 upset and defeat 83-1 runner-up Casino Magic by 1-3/4 lengths in 1:57.3. Odds-on favourite Yall Just Love me finished fourth after beginning poorly and failing to sustain an extended rally off the home turn. Paquet drove K J The Thirteenth, an Il Mago-My Kid Sister filly with five career wins from 18 starts and $222,288 in the bank, for trainer Gary Messenger.

In the $131,944 three-year-old filly pace, Winston Williams' homebred Post Jolene proved resolute in a 1:54.4 win over 1-2 favourite Woodys Girl, holding her ground in a protracted duel through the final three furlongs to prevail by a neck at 9-1. Jonathan Roberts drove the Nuclear Breeze-Positive Post filly, a two-time winner who has now banked $97,936 from 14 starts.

On the undercard, Eric Foster's homebred College Tuition coasted to a 6-1/4-length, 1:53.1 win over double millionaire JL Cruze in the $16,667 Open Handicap Trot. Johnathan Ahle drove the seven-year-old Donato Hanover gelding for trainer Courtney Foster.

Mollie McGeoch scored the first training win of her career when her Charolettes Choice rallied up the open stretch to collar Kix Hanover in a second-level conditioned pace for fillies and mares. Roberts drove the four-year-old Courtly Choice mare to a 13-1 upset for the 22-year-old McGeoch, who harnessed her first starter in 2024.

The 2025 winter-spring meet at Rosecroft concludes with a 13-race program on Sunday, May 18. The card includes a $7,097.84 carryover and a mandatory payout in the Jackpot Hi-5, offered in race 10. First post is 12 noon.
