Masters Sweetie made it five victories in a row at Scioto Downs last night, as she took a division of the fourth leg of the Killbuck Mary Series for trotting mares.
The four-year-old daughter of Master Lavec scored another easy win for driver Jeff Nisonger in 2:01.4.
Nisonger moved the 1-5 post time choice to the front before the half-mile. The mare turned back the challenges of TKs Karma and Hooray For Valerie.
Ed Birmele owns and trains Masters Sweetie, who has now won seven of her nine starts in 2009.
The other division of the Killbuck Mary went to Striking Lauren and driver Chip Noble. The mare controlled the race from the start, but had to fight hard to fend off Lima Echo in the stretch. Striking Laurens margin was a nose in the 1:58.3 mile. Madelines Crown was third.
Danny Collins trains and co-owns the winner with John Rhoads, Jr. and Jerry Sommers, who was sent off as the 4-5 favourite. It was her second win in three starts for the Chip Chip Hooray sophomore.
