Oh Look Magic found himself in a familiar position in the $49,315 Open Handicap Trot on Wednesday, March 25 at Miami Valley Raceway — assigned the outside post, bet down to odds-on favouritism, on the front with Adamsville Road on his back, and eventually, in the winner's circle.

Leaving from post eight, Oh Look Magic was driven hard off the wings by regular pilot Chris Page, eventually clearing Adamsville Road (Luke Hanners) just after the quarter in :27.2. Heading to the half, Sayinwhatimthinkin (Trevor Smith) moved first-over from fourth but failed to make a major impact on Oh Look Magic, who led the field past the half and three-quarters in :56.1 and 1:23.4, respectively.

Sayinwhatimthinkin began to fade on the final turn, and a battle ensued when Adamsville Road, for the fourth straight clash with Oh Look Magic, took aim from the pocket. Adamsville Road quickly closed to within a half-length and chipped away all the way home, but Oh Look Magic outlasted that rival by a head in 1:52.1. Sayinwhatimthinkin was third.

Oh Look Magic extended his Miami Valley Open win streak to six, picking up his 32nd lifetime win in 93 starts and increasing his earnings to $1,004,066. Now seven-for-nine this year, he leads all of North America in earnings with $190,936 and is tied for the lead in wins. Ron Burke trains the six-year-old son of Lookslikeachpndale-Miami Magic, who is owned by Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC. The win price was $3.20.

Trace Tetrick led all drivers on the 14-race card with four wins while Miami Valley leading driver David Miller picked up another three.

Racing at Miami Valley closes out for the week on Thursday with a post time of 4 p.m.
