Makin Some Nosie set a track record for four-year-old geldings in 1:48.2 in the $30,000 Open Pace on Saturday (July 2) at Eldorado Scioto Downs.
Leaving from the pylons, Makin Some Noise got away second behind Gd Western Joe. Despite an opening quarter in :26, the gelded son of Always B Miki popped the pocket and gained control of the field. Makin Some Noise was unchallenged throughout the remainder of the mile, setting fractions in :53.2 and 1:21.1 before tripping the clock in 1:48.2. Later Dudes was second while Cody Hanover finished third.
The victory broke the previous track record of 1:48.4 set by Ocean Rock in 2020.
Unraced at two, Makin Some Noise has made quite the entrance into his racing career. Undefeated last year and now at the age of four, he has hit the board 18 of 21 starts. In 2022, Makin Some Noise has visited the winner’s circle seven times and bankrolled over $105,000. Edward Miller trains for Rebecca Sugg. Brett Miller sat in the bike.
Brett Miller also took the $24,000 Open II Pace with Odds On Shaggy in 1:49.2. The Virgil Morgan Jr. trainee went gate to wire as the betting favourite. The four-year-old gelded son of Racing Hill is owned by Odds On Racing. Modern Rock As crossed the finish for second and Hardt At Work completed the trifecta.
