Overthemoonforyou

Wet weather and sloppy track conditions did not damper the harness racing action at Running Aces on Thursday, June 12 as fans were treated to some very exciting action.

Four-year-old pacing mare Overthemoonforyou stole the show with a sensational closing effort to register her 14th win of the 2025 season and re-claim her spot as the stand-alone leader in all of horse racing by races won this year.

The daughter of Minnesota based stallion Karpathian Kid got away fifth in the early stages of her $12,329 conditioned race while Aint She Special (Luke Plano) and Townline Vickielou (Rick Magee) traded turns on the lead during the opening fractions of :28 and :56.3.

Driver Aaron Lehman tipped her into the outer flow near the half-mile pole, following Better Watch It (Nick Roland) as they rolled down the backside.

Lehman then tipped her three-wide and was even four-wide for a few strides near the 1:25.4 three-quarters checkpoint and she quickly drew alongside the leaders as they rounded for the stretch drive.

Midway through the lane Overthemoonforyou forged to the front and then proceeded to sprint to the wire drawing clear impressively while Better Watch It fought to hold second and Premier Desirey (Svendsen) rallied from the back to edge out Townline Vickielou for third.

Overthemoonforyou ($8.40) stopped the timer in 1:54.1 with three lengths to spare. It was her ninth straight victory and it also pushed her seasonal bankroll to $141,967 for owners QKS Racing and trainer Quentin Schneider.

Twist Little Girl N ($4.60) and driver Rick Magee dominated the $20,205 Mares Open Handicap pace with a 1-1/4 length tally in 1:53.1 over Kele Kele and Crazy Cute.

The winner is a six-year-old daughter of Vincent, owned by Dave Dobbelmann and Cathy Dessert and is trained by Mike Meza. She now shows two wins this year and 14 career wins with total earnings of $225,992.

Hilarious Hank ($6.20) surged at the wire to capture the $17,123 Burning Blaze Pacing Series Final by a neck in 1:55.3 over Glittering Hope and Minnesota Minnie.

Brandon Jenson was the winning driver for owner Stephanie O'Connell and trainer Brady Jenson. The win mutuel was $6.20.

In Minnesota-sired action on Thursday night, the winners included Swinging On By (Dean Magee, $9.40) in 1:56.2, Mele Kalikimaka (Rick Magee, $6.80) in 1:56, Miss May Bell (Brady Jenson, $7.20) in 1:59.2 and JK Cache Meoutside (Nick Roland, $2.20) in 2:01.
